ABSTRACT
The act of going to the cinema or, more contemporarily, snuggling up for a Netflix binge, allows us to escape to and immerse ourselves in a world that enchants and often affirms who we are and where we belong in society. The social isolation of disabled people is exacerbated by poor access to public transport and infrastructure. There is an ongoing tendency to segregate disabled people into day programmes operated by disability service providers. Disabled people also experience high unemployment rates. Labour force participation rates for people with disability in Australia are low. The reality is that many disabled people are isolated and marginalized because they are not routinely included and accepted in society. Disabled people in particular loved the film because their experiences of sex and love were seen and heard for the first time.
