A great film to teach students about difference and get them thinking about how they act around people with disabilities. Start a discussion and invite kids to voice their views. Have they ever met someone who didn’t fit society’s norms? How did they react? Did they make fun of the person? What disturbs us about people outside the norm? What are we afraid of?
