I Am Not What You See: Being "Different" in America
- 1977 ----- color ----- 28 min ----- 16mm
- Sondra Diamond is so severely crippled with cerebral palsy that she is completely confined to a wheelchair, unable to perform such routine tasks as dressing or bathing. Yet she found the inner strength to pursue her education and a career, and is today a practicing psychologist and outspoken champion for the rights of the handicapped. In this sensitive interview she describes what it feels like to be disabled in our society which accepts as human only those that conform to "normality." With spirit and wit she criticizes the American preoccupation with physical beauty.
- Topics: (Disability Studies, Discrimination, Psychology: Social)
