I work with paras and quads, They need more movies that help make them mainstream. They can do amazing things if given a chance. I have helped people who were considered non-rehab-able to relearn how to feed themselves, talk, and propel wheelchairs even with one hand. Yes they are limited but we never know what potential they do have until we try. It is so rewarding the first time they call your name, brush their teeth, steer their chair, etc. I just cannot say what it takes and how good everyone feels when a goal is reached and someone is able to unlock a talent and shine. So many of us need to adapt to their needs and abilities and HELP them reach their potential. This movie touches on this need. I say Yeah! A wheelchair is not an obstacle it is a tool for us all. I think the sensitivity of Armando was wonderful. He did not give up. And he was correct. When Mia fell out of the wheelchair he picked her up and kept on going. That is the point. We need to be an inclusive society and try very hard to make events like the Wheelchair Ballroom dancing work. Loved it.
