This is a great film by the Disability Rights Commission, and gives a clear message to others that to accept disability and to include disabled people in our society. Lots of disabled stars appear in this film too, which is good, like Mat Fraser the lift operator, Mik Scarlet (my hero) , and Lara Masters, the Thats Esther presenter.
Thank you for sharing this video and thank you commenters for your reactions and perspectives. I can learn from everyone and hope the world will soon be a more integrated place where social attitudes, environmental standards, equipment adaptations, and good life and learning opportunities are available for all.
Everyday I feel blessed to have what I have. I've worked all of my life every since I was 16 years old. I'm currently working full-time as a nursing assistant / home health aide at a senior care facility. I'm legally blind myself with secondary disabilities. It pisses me off when I hear about the unemployment statistics. Regardless of education level, work experience and volunteer experience, about 70% to 83% of blind and visually impaired folks across the United States face the highest rates of unemployment and homelessness. About 1 in 4 of blind and visually folks are homeless and living on the streets in the United States or lives in extreme poverty. I was homeless for 6 months when I was in my 20's back in the late 1990's. We blind and visually impaired folks also face some of the highest rates of housing discrimination, due to being unemployed. It's really sad that I know blind and visually folks who are in their 40's and they're still living in their parents basement and never worked a day in their life. What's going to happen to these folks when their parents pass on? What makes me angry is that society tends to cater toward other disability groups except the blind and visually impaired communities. Regardless of education level, I would love to have more employment programs that are catered toward blind and visually impaired folks. When society talks about how great our economy is, not for blind and visually folks.
I really enjoy this and I hope that it makes that every one, is the same, it makes it for everyone, beautyfull, and a lot easy'er to life. It makes a wonderfull wonderfull world, all togheter, and the same, no more special treadments, but quick as it is posible, a good wheelchair or other needings to life as everyone in the whole world. I hope it so! Because I'm not different, yeh my own DNA but not me as a person. I have as everyone had to do breath, and if it is whit a tube, or not, we breath together all the same air,. It makes me not different,. Love peace, and understanding❤️

Wow...That was very interesting. I have a spinal cord injury yet this little short even opened my eyes a little. Thanks.
Wonderful video, thank you.
I think a lot of disabled people would like ablebodied people to go through just some of the things they go through.
That guy on the elevator outside the building is cute!
It's Matt Fraser! From the BBC Ouch! Podcast!
