Thanks to all who responded to my request regarding films and disabilities. On the subject of scarcity, I don't consider 25 films featuring disabled characters to be very many in relation to all the films available. Think how many more films examine gender or race relations in comparison. Also, the films that most know of that feature disabled characters center around their struggles with their disabilities. There are little, if any, films that feature disabled characters simply living their lives along with the rest of society. Just like other minorities, we disabled people are here in society, but are drastically underrepresented in film. Any comments? _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
