Disability Film Analysis Tools

Disability film analysis tools

Representations of disabled people in media often perpetuate
stereotypes that can reinforce prejudice and lead to the marginalisation
and oppression of disabled people. Many conventions for representing
disabled people in film were formed during the eugenics movement
and continue to the modern era. This document provides a toolkit for
assessing and improving portrayals of disabled people in film.
