"Including Samuel," a 58-minute film, documents the life of Samuel Habib, who has cerebral palsy. Samuel excels in a mainstream third-grade classroom and his photojournalist father hopes the documentary will make more people sympathetic to people with disabilities. The Providence Journal (R.I.)Before his son Samuel was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, photojournalist Dan Habib rarely thought about the inclusion of people with disabilities. Now he thinks about inclusion every day. Shot and produced over four years, Habib's award-winning documentary film, Including Samuel, honestly chronicles the Habib family's efforts to include Samuel in every facet of their lives. The film also features four other families with varied inclusion experiences, plus interviews with dozens of teachers, young people, parents and disability rights experts.
