A Very Special DVD

While devoting an entire DVD to films about the developmentally-disabled (mentally handicapped, retarded) might seem like an odd (maybe even inappropriate) theme, but these films provide insight into our culture’s view of the handicapped and the real-life problems that care providers must address. You can tell a lot
about a society by how it treats its handicapped- World of the Right Size, Teaching the Mentally Retarded, I’m Ready Mom, Are You?, Board and Care, Selling One Guy Named Larry.
