here are a number of movies and actors referenced along with different stereotypical tropes portrayed in past and more recent movies and television. In your reflection 1) describe 3 different disability types portrayed and your thoughts about these portrayals and 2) address one of the controversies such as able-body characters playing disabled characters, not wanting to live after being disabled, not having more disabled people in other parts of media, etc.

Different ways you can reflect on these two main topics (these are recommended questions you don't have to use all of them or you can reflect in your own way):

Are these portrayals surprising?
Have you noticed these portrayals in the past?
Do you agree or disagree with the controversy discussed? Why or why not?
Can you think of other characters, actors, or shows not mentioned and how did they portray disability?
Would you watch movies or portrayals any differently after watching this documentary?
Were there comments made in any of the interviews that surprised you or changed your perspective?
