Handicapped Future
HANDICAPPED FUTURE deals with the situation of handicapped children, the chances of developing their talents and participating in society. – “Worthwhile early documentary from Herzog exploring the difference treatment accorded to the disabled in germany and the USA. Given the then fairly recent history of Germany there are resonances in this film that will not have been lost on its original audience. Certainly at the time the film was made disabled rights were decades ahead in the US; among other things this is a powerful and compassionate campaigning documentary. Chris Bright, imdb.com
