About the project

"Dan Habib's documentary film Including Samuel (currently in production) examines the educational and social inclusion of youth with disabilities. The film is built on the efforts of Habib and his family to include Samuel, 7, in all facets of school and community. Including Samuel also features four other families with varied inclusion experiences, plus interviews with dozens of teachers, young people, parents and disability rights experts.

A trailer of the film is now available. In fall 2007, Including Samuel will be released as a broadcast-quality film, a teaching guide and a website. The target audience will be the general public, students at the middle and high school levels, general and special educators, and college students and teachers."

Synopsis

In this candid and poignant collection of personal stories, sixty-three mothers describe the gifts of respect, strength, delight, perspective, and love, which their child with Down syndrome has brought into their lives.
