[iLAssnMicroboardsandatives] " LIVES WORTH LIVING " OCT 27

REFERENCE POINTS: " LIVES WORTH LIVING "

" Lives Worth Living " , documents Americans with disabilities' decades-long

struggle for equal rights. It is a window into a world inhabited by people

with an unwavering determination to live their lives like everyone else, and

a look back into a past when millions of Americans lived without access to

schools, apartment buildings, and public transportation - a way of life

unimaginable today. " Lives Worth Living " traces the development of the

disability rights movement from World War II, when thousands of disabled

veterans returned home, through its burgeoning in the 1960s and 1970s, when

it began to adopt the tactics of other social movements. Told through

interviews with the movement's

pioneers, legislators, and others, the film explores how Americans with a

wide variety of disabilities banded together to change public perception and

policy.

Produced and directed by Neudel, " Lives Worth Living " premieres on the

PBS series Independent Lens, on Thursday, October 27, 2011 at

10 PM (check local listings). To learn more about the film, and the issues
