Different Approach, A

• 1976 ----- color ----- 21 min ----- 16mm
• Uses broad comedy strokes to deal with the traditionally serious subject of employment of the handicapped. Irreverent humor, a singing and dancing handicapped chorus, top television celebrities and the story of a film within a film dispels myths and prejudices about the handicapped. Edward Asner, Norman Lear, Jim Nabors and Betty White introduce vignettes which include satires on advertising approaches, as well as candid interviews where people speak out about what it's like to work with, employ, or be, the handicapped.
• Topics: (Disability Studies, Personnel Management)
