26 minutes/Grades 7-Adult
Produced by Judy Jackson/Alma Productions
Disabled women are often isolated and hidden away, so we know
very little about their struggles. To mark the end of the
United Nations' Decade of Disabled People in 1992, disabled
women from around the globe have written open letters to the
world describing their individual plights. In parts of the
world where being a woman automatically demotes one to being a
second class citizen, being a disabled woman represents a
double dose of discrimination. In this moving program, we hear
the sadness and the hope of disabled women in Zimbabwe. We
share in their struggle to survive on a daily basis and to
create a better world for their children.
Not only will LETTERS FROM OUR LIVES foster a deeper
understanding of people with disabilities, but it will send an
inspirational message to anyone facing a hardship. It will
touch a deep chord within all viewers.
