Editorial Reviews

This DVD collection of historic handicapped and disability themed films has four great historic movies from 1940-1958. With two disabled worker wartime movies, one rare United Fund charity video and one vintage newsreel, this compilation is a great educational tool and contains some of the most poignant forgotten scenes from the history of disability in America. TABLE OF CONTENTS: (1) All out for Victory (1943) - This WWII wartime production film highlights many of the disabled and handicapped workers at the US domestic factories, with great footage of disabled workers, woman workers and other interesting socio-industrial historic scenes. Length: 21 minutes (2) The Inner City (1958) - This heart wrenching United Fund charity film shows handicapped and orphaned children in a very emotional and touching way, including footage of blind children in cages and other affecting images. This is a great historical look at charitable video in the 1950s. Length: 10 minutes (3) Winning Against Odds (1940s) - The Caterpillar factory made this video to show their acceptance of handicapped and disabled workers during WWII. Length: 11 minutes (3) Guide Dogs for the Blind (1950s) - A vintage newsreel of seeing-eye dogs and disability training in 1950s California. Length: 1 minute

This review is from: Historic Disability & Handicap Films DVD: Vintage Footage of Blind, Disabled & Physically Handicapped Children & People with Disabilities (DVD)
This is a great, eye-opening film about the unfortunate lives of people with disabilities. It really shows you the other side of the fence. This movie is 43 minutes of non-stop comedy ranging from blind-people drunk driving to weight-lifting quadriplegics.
