The Disabled Century

on BBC Two England

Second in a three-part series relating the largely neglected story of the disabled community in Britain during the 20th century. In the liberated sixties, blind people fought for the right to read what they wanted. Campaigner Les Pie was trying to give Braille readers like himself uncensored access to the great works of literature. Meanwhile other disabled people challenged a world not designed for them.
