If there were a cinema course focusing on disabilities, then Majid Majidi's "Rang-e khoda" ("The Color of Paradise" in English) would have to get included. It deserves extra credit for casting an actual blind person in the role. This story of a blind boy and his relationship with his father and grandmother hits all the right notes. Neither the relationships nor the conversations ever look forced, it's all very natural. I've liked every Iranian movie that I've seen. Definitely watch it.
