Including Samuel, An Award-Winning Documentary
Including Samuel, an award-winning documentary by photojournalist Dan Habib, comes to public television in October, during Disability Awareness Month. The film puts a spotlight on the social and educational inclusion of children with disabilities.
Before his son Samuel was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, Habib rarely thought about the inclusion of people with disabilities. Now he thinks about inclusion every day. Including Samuel chronicles the Habib family's efforts to include Samuel in every facet of their lives.
This film honestly portrays the Habib family's hopes and struggles as well as the experiences of two teenage girls with disabilities and their families. Including Samuel is a highly personal, passionately photographed film that captures the cultural and systemic barriers to inclusion.
