No, but sounds really great...

Quote from a review of film
"The idea of supporting people rather than trying to force them into those behaviors the majority can more comfortably tolerate, the correctness of this seems so very self-evident, I often forget what a radical concept it is, how much we are sometimes hated for expressing it."

Hopefully Documentaries like this will help people see us not as disabled, but as differently able....
