Holiday Movie Stars Disabled Actress

[DeAnn R]

It’s about time is all I have to say.  One of Lifetime’s holiday movies features a young woman who’s in a wheelchair.   I haven’t seen the movie yet, so can’t say if it’s good bad or otherwise.  Regardless what I can say is that I hope the trend of featuring disabled individuals continues.  Have you seen it?  What are your thoughts?  Here’s a link that goes into more detail about the movie and the actress.  https://www.marieclaire.com/culture/a34852227/christmas-ever-after-disability-representation/?utm_campaign=christmas%20movie%20(SPZ4vd)&utm_medium=email&utm_source=ALL(Gold%20list%2C%20woo%20commerce%2Cat%20home%20medical%2Cnew%20Customers)&_ke=eyJrbF9lbWFpbCI6ICJqbWlsbGVyQGV4cG9jY2kuY29tIiwgImtsX2NvbXBhbnlfaWQiOiAiUERSYkJtIn0%3D&fbclid=IwAR2Gg_6IEVc48v-fgWLFX9aMzvVjZbV5k_hOAP7qDy9nC1fEqwKuCPDmhbo

I draw the line at cheesy Hallmark movies— Lifetime movies are too over the top haha. But THIS! This is so exciting! I am going to have to make the exception and watch it. I truly hope our efforts to get disability better represented in the media doesn’t fall on deaf ears. This is promising news.

I watched it, because it starred a truly disabled woman. It was as sappy as expected, but did a good job of showing her interacting with others and her environment.
