How a Story of Friendship Starring Authentic Actors with Disabilities Helps Removes Stigmas Surrounding Disability
Description
Lauren Appelbaum praises the new filmĀ Daruma for it's real portrayal of disabled people as primarily people rather than primarily disabled, as well as its use of actually disabled people to play the disabled roles. The director used her sister's experience to bring forth this story about disabled people that focuses on their relationship dynamics rather than their disability. Appelbaum goes on to point out that how people are represented on screen can impact how the people are treated in real life and thus is an important element of disability.
