Erasing the Margins Through Film

I think one of the best things we can do is continually educate ourselves.  Sometimes I can take a course, quite often I read a book, and then there are times I relax and watch a movie.  I can learn something new about the challenges and the joys of someone living with a disability from each of them.  I won't endorse any of these movies because I haven't seen them all, but I thought I would share my movie list with you.
