Attitudes: The Second Handicap

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The first of two Open Door programmes made by Chris Davies.
What is it like to live with disability; to live in a society shaped by the attitudes of the able-bodied majority?' Chris is a severely disabled person and this award-winning film, first shown a year ago, examines the various ways society complicates life and worsens the effect of physical disability. Its first transmission produced over 2,000 responses to a questionnaire, the results of which will be examined tonight. In a new film next week Chris takes a comparative look at radical attitudes towards handicap in the USA: America - We Can Do That.
A public access programme made with the help of the COMMUNITYPROGRAMME UNIT
