Description: Interviews with five career people who have physical disabilities provide the basis for this film which questions the public's attitude toward disability or difference. The film, which avoids depiction of the disabled as heroes triumphing over their conditions, delves into issues of personal relationships, professional versus physical image, and vulnerablity to crime. By exploring the wide range of emotions experienced by disabled people, the film reveals a common ground shared with the able-bodied.
