A friend of mine, Jazz has made three films that are just great!

All the films are about disabled women from around the world who have challenged prejudice and exclusion in order to pursue the life of their choice.  


"Mia's Story" tells of a Lebanese woman's desire to access mainstream education and her ongoing campaign for inclusive education in Beirut and the Middle East Region. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_2ZEwhh9WQ



"Rachel's Story" is about a British woman's desire to become a nurse in a sector that traditionally views disabled people as recipients of care, not care givers.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwBzb7m2n64



"Feliza's Story" is about a Bolivian woman who raised awareness through art about environmental barriers resulting in changes to public buildings and roads.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wu-f1FEFNMY&feature=channel_video_title


Enjoy!
