uuntitled holdsworth film
Today I think I will just send you all to this video by Alan Holdsworth. It's about people who have - or are described as having - learning difficulties, and questions many of the preconceptions people commonly hold. The film is not without it's problems: the opening demand of 'full inclusion now', for example, should be treated with caution. Inclusion should be treated carefully, and I am now of the opinion that to rush head long into full inclusion, blinded by dogma to the consequences, is folly. Anyway, the film is still very interesting; go watch.







I assume you know that Alan Holdsworth is also known as Johnny Crescendo, singer/songwriter of great anthems such as Choices and Rights, and founder of DAN, disabled people's Direct Action Network.
