Can You Hear Us? DVD
The group who made this DVD is made up of people with learning disabilities and United Response staff. They want to show how often people with learning disabilities are mistreated in every day situations.
The group was involved in every aspect of making the DVD, sometimes learning new skills along the way: from storyboarding to filming through to post production.
We hope that by watching Can You Hear Us? people will develop skills to communicate and understand better.
The DVD is made up of five dramas, each showing a different example of discrimination.
