No Life of My Own
At the age of 30, Terry spends every day restlessly moving about the house, often screaming with frustration. His mother can barely cope. Terry has learning difficulties and is trapped at home because of the long waiting list for day-care places in the county of Avon. There is no law requiring local authorities to provide for all people with mental disabilities after school age. In this film, the Avon Mental Handicap Action Group demonstrate the devastating impact on parents and children who are being denied a life of their own. Camera RICHARD ADAM
