Including Samuel 58min
Photojournalist Dan Habib rarely thought about the inclusion
of children with disabilities before he had his son Samuel.
Now he thinks about inclusion every day. Habib documented
his family's efforts to include Samuel in every facet of their
lives, a journey that transforms each of them. Including
Samuel also chronicles the lives of four other people with
disabilities including autism, schizophrenia and cerebral
palsy. Habib, who narrates the film, said creating Including
Samuel forced him to face his own prejudices. 'When I saw
people who didn?t look like me, or talk like me, you know
what crept into my head? I often saw them as less smart, less
capable, and not worth getting to know. Is that how the world
would see Samuel?'
