Disability: the fairy tale of inclusion
51 min
Available until 04/06/2025
In this programme we meet four people with disabilities, who fight a daily battle for acceptance and their right to autonomy. Islam Alijaj, who has physical and speech impairments, wants to become a member of the National Council. Visually impaired geologist Barbara Müller is fighting for an appointment as a university lecturer. Paraplegic David Mzee wants to work as a physical education teacher. And Amir Gashi, who has muscular dystrophy, is holding on to his international DJing career for as long as he can. Each shines a light on the often insurmountable gap between the fairy tale of inclusion and equality, and the reality people with disabilities have to live with.
