I met Fred Fay in the early 70's in Danvers Massachusetts(he's the father of my best friend), I was 5 or 6 at the time, and Fred and his wife were the first "handicapped" people I ever met. Fred recently passed away, but the lessons about life I learned from him will never be forgotten.
Thank you for making the documentary

This was an amazing documentary.It really hits home.My friends sister is trying to put her in a group home when shes capable of living on her own and has for 21 years now.This may be helpful if the laws made help her.What they have done to mentally and physically Handicapped people in the past is horrendous.We have broken the chains or have we??
