A Film about Abilities “ Disabled people are tired of being invisible, and are declar- ing their right to an equal chance at life.” —Christopher Reeve
This HBO documentary, narrated by Christopher Reeve, celebrates the efforts of people with disabilities to live full, productive lives. We meet a cross section of Americans. A young woman with cerebral palsy cares for her baby, while a man with cerebral palsy lives successfully on his own after 40 years in a long-term care facility. We go to school with a remarkable 6-year-old without arms or legs, visit the workplace of a computer expert who is blind, and meet a professor with polio who teaches the history of discrimination against people with disabilities. A young man, recently made quadriplegic, discusses his daily battle with depression and his determina- tion to overcome it and get on with his life. This program applauds the resilience and potential of people turning disabilities into “diff-abilities” in their determination to be self-sufficient. (56 minutes) © 1996
