FILM SYNOPSIS
Before his son Samuel was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, photojournalist Dan Habib rarely thought about the educational inclusion of people with disabilities. Now he thinks about inclusion every day. Shot and produced over four years, Habib's award-winning documentary film, Including Samuel, chronicles the Habib family's efforts to include Samuel in every facet of their lives. The film honestly portrays his family's hopes and struggles as well as the experiences of four other individuals with disabilities and their families. Including Samuel is a highly personal, passionately photographed film that captures the cultural and systemic barriers to inclusion in schools.
PRAISE FOR INCLUDING SAMUEL
“Including Samuel is a must-see.”
EXCEPTIONAL PARENT MAGAZINE
“Including Samuel is deeply personal. It deals not only with inclusion in school and the community but with the challenges of successfully including a child with severe disabilities in family life.”
BOSTON GLOBE “Samuel has bright eyes, a robust smile and a strong will...Including Samuel in all aspects of life became a mission for the Habib family.”
MICHELE NORRIS, NPR’S ALL THINGS CONSIDERED
“The film is an incredible resource for people who teach courses about inclusion, who offer workshops about inclusion, and who just want to learn about inclusion. It will also be very reassuring for parents.”
DOUGLAS BIKLEN, DEAN, SCHOOL OF EDUCATION, SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY
