A study of good and bad disability representation in film.

Your top ten favorite movies could very well feature some disability, be it blindness, dwarfism, memory loss, or autism, and you could find at least one of them mentioned in this book! Each chapter will give a detailed breakdown of both the positive representations and negative stereotypes of a specific disability across film history, enabling you to seek out better discernment about those very messages across all movie genres. There are also discussion questions included at the end of each chapter to help you better discern the cleverly disguised messages from various media, all while reaching your own conclusions.
