Periodically I plan to present my impressions, observations and insights into movies that address disabilities, with takes on anything from exploring their themes, sharing my perspective on how a disability is being presented, lessons I’ve taken, commentary on the times they were made, investigating their potential value in helping you on your journey and more.
I feel that cinema has the potential to be a great mirror for the past and present. It is here that subjects can be explored and exposed and where we can examine, agree, disagree and challenge our perceptions. It is in film where the opportunity is presented for shedding light into areas that are less known, taboo, misunderstood or ignored. It is here where we can explore the vast world of disabilities and use this platform to shape or reshape our thinking on how we view others with disabilities and how those with disabilities experience life and show us their superpowers.
Leading off this series of discussions I will be presenting a film entitled, Dominick and Eugene.
