REACTIONS

This is a very important documentary, but not easy to watch -- it is grittier and tougher than any tough guy movie. See it if you are strong enough. Most Americans still think that if you have disabilities like this, you have the help you need. Most Americans are wrong." Sue Swenson, executive director, The ARC of the United States, 2006

The film is constructed to make the viewer want to stand up the minute it's over and march off to Tallahassee to demand redress. In that sense, the doc's brevity is in its favor. It scores its hits and gets out, leaving no room for the delusion that having watched it was involvement enough. Steve Schneider, film critic, Orlando Weekly March 23, 2006
