An Open Space special
For many of this country's six million disabled people, 1988 takes a notorious position in the history of their struggle for equality, rights and recognition. This year's controversial Social Security changes raised the temperature of disability politics, long simmering as a potential embarrassment for any government.
This uncompromising documentary, filmed in England and Sweden, is made by two disabled people, Patricia Rock and Colin Low. Together they critically assess the conditions of life experienced by significant numbers of our disabled population, who day by day face intolerance, ignorance and discrimination in all aspects of their lives.
