Understanding the Disabled: Dances with the Minotaur

This emotional drama, told from the point of view of the physically challenged, realistically portrays the problems and triumphs of a high school student who uses a wheelchair as it raises awareness about the trials faced by people with disabilities. As Bill, a teenage boy, struggles to be accepted in a new school, he is confronted with stereotyping, inaccessibility, and continual pressure from a friend not to cross the line into the mainstream world. Persisting, Bill not only interacts with students, but ultimately clears the way for others to fully participate at school. As a classroom tool, the program raises provocative questions concerning equality for those with disabilities. A Cambridge Educational Production. (44 minutes)
