Wow. I didn't know people said things like that about visibly disabled people. That's a strange sounding term but I don't quite know what to call it. I have an invisible disability and so I don't get treated in such a patronising way. I didn't realise people made comments like that about visibly disabled people.
You should be aging AND disabled. Drivers and bikers shriek at me to get out of their way as I am slowly hobbling across the street ON MY LIGHT! I take this with good humor or effin' DIE! One biker tried to run over me when I told him I could not step sideways to get out of his way. It brings out the purely vicious in people. This is San Francisco, bastion of liberality. I have a very loud voice and an attitude to match. I fight back. So far, I'm alive.
its the people in power who can really make the difference that need convincing. i have fought my whole life and at 50 im running out of energy which worrys me even more. you have to fight or lay down and die !
What if you just accepted the fact that any system or organism removes the defectives, by social pressure, or norming and forming. You'd think after 5 decades you'd understand that.
I know a few people on this film who starred in it! The lift operator at the office, the maitre d , and the guy with spiky hair in the club! LOL! Knowing them or speaking to them is great!
this is a great film. I know the feeling only all too well. I feel like this every day. how people judge you based on what you can't do other than what you can do. this is a must see for everyone.
Remember the 3 ugly triplets: Sympathy, Pity and Contempt. Givin sympathy to a blind man pisses him off coz deep down he knows it's close to contempt. But let's never forget to laugh, check Carlos Mencia's stand up skit on wheel chair at Disney land.

now i understand how a person with a disability feel when in public. it must be horible when everyone stairs at you like your some kind of animal. i'm just remembering the time i broke my leg in 4th grade and was in a wheelchair, everyone kept stairing at me. i didnt like it. and the teacher treated me like i had a brain disability. sooo awful.
This entire video, parts one and two, need to be broadcast across North America. This is one of the most effective videos on this topic that I've ever seen. Being a person who has a mobility impairment, I could relate so closely that I was nearly brought to tears.

things are so bad for disabled people in romania , you can rarely see them out. They need to get out of that mind frame ..... and no i don't have a cousin that's disabled. They have to respect themselves first, and then the respect from others will come.
this is amazing! and it is true that people seem to judge you. You can really notice it when you have a disability for a short while, such as when you are on crutches, everyone stares at you, like u r some kind of freak and this really catches peoples reactions!
I watched this video as part of my Driver CPC training earlier on today.
Very well written, acted, and shot. Certainly makes me see things differently now... Didn't realise how patronising people can seem.

I love this film and I hope it makes people think before they stare and also make them realise all disabilities are not visible. Brilliant :)

This is one brilliant film. It's showing how people with disabilities have to go through with people staring at them because of them being different.

I agree. I think that the insensitive people of America need to see something like this.

Serbia have more than one problem on their hand right now , once the political climate will settle things are going to get better there.
But i am disapointed that in Romania we have no excuse , we had no wars in the past 63 years since WW2 , people just ignore things here.

what about in Serbia, the disabled there are treated like they're nothing more than a thing. the second i saw the report, it made me sick.

Brilliant! The acting is dead-on with the patronizing glances and exaggerating sighs of repugnance. It would be funnier if it weren't 100% true!
