Moving On with Disabilities. Episode 5
Description
This program confronts competing issues of athlete safety and discrimination through the cases of two wheelchair runners training at the University of Alberta's indoor track at the Butterdome. The program also applauds two classic movies-My Left Foot and Born on the Fourth of July-for defying typical Hollywood stereotyping while decrying the portrayal of pianist David Helfgott in Shine as a disservice to people who have mental illnesses. Two additional segments skewer a number of myths about people with disabilities and profile the sport of competitive fencing as modified for paraplegics.
