As someone with a disability, I really can't thank you enough for what you're doing. I have more of an "invisible disability", and this really helped me to understand what it's like to have a disability that's visible. You helped me come to realize that people with one type of disability can have misconceptions about and prejudices against people with other disabilities.
As someone with a CP too, I got frustrated by people telling me that I was a role model just because I decided to pursue my studies and my ambitions regardless of my physical disability. For me, there was nothing special about it as I thought that everyone can do it. I recently realized that the very thing that makes people believe that I am special is the positive response that I had throughout my entire journey despite the inherent adversity of dealing with limited mobility. I'm 24 y/o, I have a bachelor degree in finances, I have a job, and I have a very great social life. I can understand Sam when it comes to dating tho. I never got a gf (although I got close) and as time goes by, I am starting to have a complex in front of this fact. I tried to get matches on Tinder and Hinge for several months, yet I didn't make any significant progress. I feel that when people see the mention that I have a wheelchair, they might associate it with other issues beyond the wheelchair and that is a turn-off. I don't see any way to validate that feeling with fully able people because most of them don't feel comfortable talking about it or would pretend that they don't see any issues about it, and I understand that. Don't get me wrong, I am pretty satisfied with my life rn, but I can't deny the fact that I feel the urge to date girls and not having any opportunity to do so is a bit frustrating. This is way harder than what most people think, but I won't give up - never. Our true limit is in our mind, not our body. I am now considering changing my strategy by relying more on the network effect to get introduced to new people more organically. Anyway, this documentary is well done. Take care! ✌
I’m a adult, a Masters degree’d professional, mother, and I live with spinal cord injury. I’m just living my life. I do not want to be a role model. Even moreso, I do not EVER want to be anyone’s “inspiration.” I hate when anyone tells me that they think I’m brave. What a stupid thing to say: I did not choose this.
There is a new app called dateability. I tried it but not many people in my less populated area, plus it's a new app so not a ton of users. Maybe that would work better than hinge or tinder.¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Finding the dating apps to be brutal and I can only handle them in fits and starts, before reclaiming my sanity. Actually a Google search about dating with disabilities lead me to this video.😊 So glad I found it. Well done and great example of day to day as well as the weird interactions with people. Loved all of these role models/mentors + questions. Well done video. 🫶✌️
Strange how the lady at the airport couldn't stop talking like he was a child. Would she walk up to her boss and speak like that? Or any other adult? No. That's not how adults talk to each other. "How old are you? Are you 55? Are you 55? You're the CEO, hey?" Ugh.
It is really sad. I also have CP, and just like Sam, I hate when people are underestimating me. I mean, why do people think that only because you are using a wheelchair, you are not able to be a normal person. A person who studies and living a normal life. I am 19 now, lives in Norway on my own, and I am so happy that I have the opurtunity to do so.
Awesome stuff! As another disabled young person this was so cool to see. I also respect how you baked in the audio description. Great little bit of accessibility
I love watching this documentary. I do not have a disability and I have rarely been exposed to people with disabilities, but I am glad to learn and understand what they are advocating for and break the internal biases I have when seeing someone with a disability. Hope to see more work from you Sam!!!
I have CP too, although it doesn't affect my speech, and I was super frustrated on Sam's behalf at the lady in the airport (and Biden--yikes). At the same time, I understand that the lady didn't know how to handle waiting for Sam's response. The general population has never had the experience of conversing with someone who uses a communication device. Sam had to sit there while his dad talked about and for him. The audience only saw Sam talking back and forth with family and care assistants; all other communication was preprogrammed and cut away after the interviewee had spoken. I would really appreciate seeing a real-time conversation between Sam and a new acquaintance. Show us what that looks like when it goes well. That's what we need to see, to understand and to learn. Lovely work overall. We need more!
Samuel I love this. I have to say as a person with invisible disabilities it's great to see such an inclusive disability DOC done! Good luck in your advocacy, I really hope people stop infantalizing and talking down to you. You are definitely brilliant and the transition into adulthood is difficult. I hope you can find everything you're looking for!
Great film! As a former teacher, I wish this film and films like it were part of the curriculum. As a dad, I will definitely be watching it again with my 10 year old. The preparation, dedication, participation by so many amazing guests, and the way those moments are shared with the level of cinematography they are captured makes me feel I was on this journey with you. I really only had time to watch part of it, but had to watch the whole thing. When time flies, it's good stuff!
Fantastic film, really well done. Sam, your questions throughout the doc were well thought out, your interview prep is on point. I had intended to take 5 minutes and briefly check this out, instead I watched from beginning to end (and now I'm leaving a comment!). Keep up the great work.
The lady at the airport doesn't understand much! I have CP too, and those people are those I hate the most in the world. I get upset everytime people thinks that only because I am in a wheelchair, I can't do what everyone else is doing. I am proud of my opurtunity to study economics at the largest university in Norway (NTNU in Trondheim), far from my home in Oslo. I want to prove ableists wrong someday, prove that I can get a job and be part of the society just like anyone else. (hope that my English is not too bad)
Oh i wondered what your sobriquet meant until i read you are from NO and its an actual name, it makes sense. You english is impeccable and you live in NO, i am like 1/4 NO and i struggle with the language, i speak german . I wanted to get mad at the broad at the airport but then i realized she was clumsily trying to be friendly because she isn't aware of what someone sees and receives who doesn't have the same physical ability. she was talking to Samuel as if she was talking to a Beagle who was wagging its tail. it was cringe . i could picture her leaning forward with a sheepish smile and wide eyes. I have a cousin in southern african who has variety of CP and it doesn't affect his speech much. i have always been amazed at how well he is treated by the extended family . Now it helps that 2 gen of a family live in the same compound and this means taking care of him is super easy since its split among 12 people.
You’re already proving the ableists wrong by everything you are and everything you do. Forget about them, prove yourself right. Keep focusing on what you do have; you sound extraordinarily intelligent and extremely able. Cheers.
Thank you for this. There are quite a few disabled college students in my university. I know a few of them, and it is good that you are showing that they are not to be treated as kids just because they are not as physically able as others.
I have Cerebral Palsy. I'm nearly 32 and yet still treated as a child. I don't think society will easily stop treating people with disabilities as permanent children. It could take generations
You made me cry because I felt so related to someone, which I haven't felt in months since I am starting college on Monday, and I feel like you know and understand what I'm going through. Thank you for making this video.
Sam, I’m not sure you read the comments, but my best friend Jen Ranney in Spokane Washington told me about you and your film making. I want to tell you I was SUPER impressed with your film, your vulnerability and your story telling. Keep showing the world you. It’s absolutely perfect! And btw, keep searching for your perfect person, they are definitely out there!
Fantastic film and very illuminating especially as my baby nephew may have a disability. Shared this video with my family and a million thanks for making this!
Great documentary. It definitely provides a look into Sam’s life, and that he is like everyone else, but just needs to do things differently. He deserves the same respect as those around him, as it is a human right. He desires the same things others around him want in life: respect, love, employment, and a home that is all both accessible to him and where you can be as independent as possible. I too can relate to these same desires/wants, and struggle with it. Even though my disability is different from Sam’s, and like him, I have a good support system, some of the emotional struggles are a bit harder. Great documentary!!
It was strange after she was told to stop talking to him that way that she continued. I get that it’s hard to tell anyone’s age but don’t talk to anybody like they’re a baby or a dog.
She just didn't get it. It didn't register. Some people are like that. Naive and inexperienced even if the intention comes from a good spirited place. The airport is a strange environment. Interactions are rousing and hightened. People feel also more vulnerable and excited at airports I suppose. Giving her the benefit of doubt she most likely didn't mean any harm and she most likely had little experience with disability or exposure of disabled in her life. Not excusing her actions, but it is bound to happen. That being said there are far worse countries out there to be in as disabled. The US is moving in the right direction, perhaps even taking the lead, for sure.
@@MsKTMvalley And people are always like offended and like "what do you mean i was being nice?!?" and its like no you were treating me like I was beneath you because i have a disability. watching that clip hurt my soul.
I feel like she was actually sorry. Some people just assume that someone needs to be treated differently because of a disability I think she meant well and she wasn’t trying to put him down But I do understand how frustrating that is
'Oh! You're in school now hein?' Even after being told several times not to speak to him as a child that lady can't help to patronize him. Probably one of those persons who allways brag about 'loving disabled people'!
Wow, Samuel! I loved the documentary your father made when you were small and so delightfully cute, and so it's such an honour to be able to catch up with you in this documentary and to see how well you are doing and how mature, passionate and determined you've become as a grown man. I have a mental illness and a mild physical disability and it's so wonderful to see how hard you are fighting for disability rights. You still seem as happy and determined as you were as a young boy, but I know you must have to endure huge frustrations on a daily basis - I gasped in shock when I saw Biden stroke your face, and I was even more angry when that woman at the airport started speaking to you as if you were a 4 year-old! SURELY people know better than that nowadays?? Are there people who are really that STUPID?? I particularly loved what you said at the end of your documentary - people paved the way for you and so you want to pave the way for other disabled people. I think your dad started your legacy with his documentary, and now you are carrying that on splendidly by yourself: by making this new documentary, interviewing and speaking to those in power, and educating so many able-bodied people about what it's like living with a disability, as well as showing everyone how much further our society needs to go in terms of breaking down stigmas, increasing inclusion, and fighting for disability rights. I think you are a fabulous role-model for everyone, disabled as well as abled, and I very much hope you've been able to move out by now and have found a girlfriend too - any girl your age would be incredibly lucky to be in a relationship with you! If I were 25 years younger, I'd be writing you love letters for sure! Keep being amazing, Samuel, and keep making documentaries about yourself - you're a joy to watch and to listen to! How about starting a podcast or UA-cam channel - extraordinary individuals like yourself really need to be in the limelight these days, in order to influence and be role-models to as many people as possible, and also to give the rest of us hope! I wish you all the success in the world, good health, and plenty of daring and exciting adventures!!
I am so thankful for this video for I have learned a little bit more about the people that I live on this Earth with! Hope everyone gets to watch this very interesting educational video!
Stand up for yourself comes to mind. I a a chronic kidney patient, who has started kidney dialysis in February 2022. Some days are tough others not so bad. Not everyone understands what the process is about, some people avoid me in case they contract or too, -,not possible of course. Some are sympathic, whilst those who have family in the same boat, are very supportive My advice to you is hold your head up high, pray to God for strength, courage, show love to all you meet, it will come back to you. God Bless You Everyday.
Hey Samuel - just watched your vid and gotta tell ya i was inspired by your journey and honesty. Wish you the best on your search for a girlfriend/wife - you'll make a great boyfriend/husband!
Man i cried so hard watching this, and it made me wonder if i were to meet samuel and cry in front of him if that would also be seen as a form of looking down on him when i simply absolutely do not at all. I wonder how i would try to successfully explain to him that I do not look down at him but merely am emotional towards how the world treats him and only wanting the best for him.
Yea agreed. I guess we should remember that he’s a guy who with assistance loves all the same things as able bodied people, like skiing or jogging or having intellectual conversations. Each of us all have our own sets of challenges and differences.
@@janberger2339but not in person, i’d imagine…someone breaking down crying in front of a disabled person just bc they feel so bad for them? Let’s think that through…
Amazing young man. Thank you for creating this descriptive version of the video. My son is completely blind and I wanted him to hear this story. My son is graduating with high honors from college this weekend. Never underestimate anyone with a disability!
THAT'S ONLY FAIR...! Every living being that can think should close its eyes for 5 minutes and think about it: what are the consequences/ what training does my behavior have..? !! Then you ask yourself: HOW WOULD THE WORLD BE BEAUTIFUL AGAIN...? IF EVERY PERSON GIVES TO A COMPLETELY FOREIGN PERSON THE SAME AS HE GIVES HIS FAMILY AND HIMSELF. .!!! then you open your eyes and try to think of these thoughts as often as possible. .! maybe man is the most intelligent creature after all. .!??!
Agreed. Audio Description can be used by sighted people. In fact, Netflix has many audio described originals. You can listen to movies while cooking or driving.
I live in Joplin MO and I would love to talk to you, I have been married 2 I have 2 grown Men yes they are know done with school, I have IDD and much more. I am on the MODDC and have been for 15 Years. I have not traveled like you . But I have got a voice if just I could fine a was to talk like you do. get bake to me . Diana Willard
Remember God loves you♥️!! John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Please repent, change your life around and live for Him🙏🙏 He is coming back soon🥳😊..............

That is so the audio description does not talk over dialog.
