Movies about disabilities or health problems

iza

I love watching movies especially when I am cooking. 

The movies I watch are sometimes  related to disability or health problems. 

I always try to learn about other people’s experience. 

I try to see the world from they perspective and understand the difficulties they faced once they got ill. 

I observe,  how they managed to overcome health issues and do they managed themselves or with support from others. 

I created  below the list of movies I watched. I  highly recommend them  for you to watch too. 

All movies are or should be still available on Netflix. Some of them finish with inspiring happy end,  some are sad and touching. 

The list is here : 

• My fat diary 
• Inside I am dancing 
• My beautiful broken brain 
• 7 yards
• Out of my league 
• Still out of my league 
• Forever out of my league 
• Atypical 
• Love on the spectrum 
• Margarita with a straw 
• The healing power of dude 

Let me know what do you think and  please add any high value movies to the list if you think I should watch them too.

Hello @iza thanks for sharing these, that's quite a few to add to my watchlist!

So that our members can share their thoughts more easily, I've just moved this post into the Coffee Lounge  

Films are a great way to see things from different points of view, and reflect on our own experiences too.

I can recommend Crip Camp on Netflix, it's more of a documentary than a drama, and was difficult to watch at times because it covers ableism, but it's worth a watch!

I am not really a lover of watching films, but one film that has always stuck in my mind, was my Left Foot funny and sad.

Hi @SueHeath I will check that one too.
