Exposing prejudice in Special People

Dominic Coleman plays the director, who eagerly accepts the challenge of helping the three teenagers make their own film on a chaotic trip to the countryside.

David Proud, Robyn Frampton and Jason Maza are excellent as the youngsters and Edgar’s light touch and lack of sentimentality work in his favour. We are allowed to forget the wheelchairs and see the people in them, while still remembering the prejudices many have about the disabled.
