Of Mice and Men with John Malkovitch

Just remember to stop the DVD/Blue ray 10 mins before the ending...


What kind of disabilities do you have in mind ?

Awesome doc called The Punk Syndrome that should be up on amazon and netflix. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM58kP_JHkQ

Probably better for teenage kids to watch, but pretty inspiring to see a system in which disabled people are given a bit more dignity than in America.

Thank you all for the suggestions, I am going to watch the trailers. My audiences are children ages 7-15 years old. I have a workshop for them sports explicitly, and I want to set up a day each week so that we can watch it together. I got some ideas in this article too (https://www.betterhelp.com/advice/depression), on how to approach and treat them.
