      There are many stereotypes built around people with disabilities that can make a person with a disability feel dissatisfied or discouraged with who they are. The most common misconceptions include: -People with disabilities can’t live independently. -All disabilities can be see with the eye. -Having a disability decreases happiness in life. -A person with a disability is all they are.     However, these misconceptions are not true at all. We plan to make it known in our documentary that these claims are false. In reality, people with disabilities CAN live on their own, have jobs, and make their own decisions. Even though it is always nice to have help they are capable of doing things independently. Also, some disabilities like mental and learning disabilities are not visible like physical disabilities are. A disability does not fully make up a person’s identity they can live happy, successful, and fulfilling lives just like any ordinary person.

By working together and trusting each other to do what they needed to it helped us work efficiently and stay on track. The teamwork we had helped us support each other and hold each other accountable so we could ensure that everything was done in time.      Working as a group taught us that we needed to be flexible with plans and instead of getting frustrated with each other we could work together and solve the problem together. This documentary brought us closer as collaborators and helped us grow as ...

      While working on this documentary, it changed the way I look at people with differences that aren’t really different after all. I learned that disabilities aren’t just medical conditions they are real life experiences that can happen to anyone. They affect how people communicate, learn, and interact with others everyday. I started to understand that everyone’s experiences are different from each other’s but, they all have one thing in common….they are not defined by their disability.      I learned that it is important to bring awareness to the issue of discrimination of people with disabilities. Learning the stories from people with disabilities helped me to realize that people with disabilities are often misunderstood and depreciated. Filing this documentary taught me that words and actions can have a big impact on someone who may be struggling. So, it is alway important to be kind because some disabilities are not seen.     Many peop...
