A Documentary Film Exploring the World
of Students with Disabilities
The 60 minute
documentary film “What Does Normal Mean?” follows seven students
with disabilities through an academic year as they attend regular
classes with their friends. Three award-winning documentary
filmmakers visited elementary, middle, and high schools in urban and
rural communities in New Mexico. The film-makers and the producers,
two of whom have sons with disabilities, created a film that
illustrates how inclusion can succeed and learning environments
improve when school administrators, teachers, families, and disabled
students and their friends work together.
The stars of
“What Does Normal Mean?” are Rudy Via, Brandon Via, Tara Matzick,
Kade Goss, Phillip Contreras, Rebecca Salazar, and Seda McLuckie.
Among them, they are blind, have severe dyslexia, cerebral palsy,
down syndrome, anacephaly, seizure disorders, a neuromuscular
disease, and medical fragility. They are cowboys, artists, track
stars, honor roll students, public speakers. In some ways, the
students are extraordinary. But in most ways, they are just like
other kids.
