"We bought the films for our women's studies, community health,
pre-nursing, and diversity studies programs. There are so many uses for
them. Students are fascinated by a glimpse into a world they've not
experienced." – Alice Deakins, Professor at William Paterson University,
New Jersey

Nominated for an Academy Award, this film features community activist Larry
Selman, a 63 year-old with an intellectual disability who collects money
for a variety of charities. When his last surviving relative's health
begins to fail, Larry's community sets up a supplemental trust to ensure he
is able to live independently in the future. To date, Larry has raised half
a million dollars and was a recipient of the 2009 Caring
Award<http://www.caring.org/CaringAwards.taf?function=detail&id=33015>,

Diana Braun has Down Syndrome and Kathy Conour has Cerebral Palsy and is
non-verbal. The two women met at a sheltered workshop in Illinois three
decades ago and vowed to live independent, non-institutionalized lives
together. They are tireless self-advocates who expand our vision of human
capability. This award-winning documentary was most recently the foundation
of a new online course launched by the College of Direct Support, called "Film
for Thought<http://directcourseonline.com/directsupport/core-curriculum/film-for-thought/>
."
