> I accidently left out of the May GBN this item about the important new
>video by Sharon Snyder and David Mitchell, the good folks who brought us
>"Vital Signs: Crip Culture Talks Back". This new work, "A World Without
>Bodies" is an incredible documentary that deserves as broad a viewership as
>possible so I'm asking each of you who receives this to distribute the
>information to newsletters, websites, lists, anywhere and everywhere you can.
>I'm proud to have this stunning, often chilling, work in my video collection.
>"A World Without Bodies" takes us on a journey into the deep heart of our
>darkest history, the birth of the Holocaust, its roots in the eugenics
>movement., with the murders of thousands of our disabled ancestors. This is a
>scholarly and informative work, but with incredible power and emotional
>wallop. The use of Laurie Anderson's "Big Science" adds a haunting quality to
>many of the scenes. The hair on the back of my neck stood up as I watched
>David Mitchell in his wheelchair roll up to the gas chamber door and open it.
>I was right there with him. There was no way to not know that these disabled
>people now touring this facility would've most surely been on the other side
>of that door. This video should be in every school. On prime time TV. In your
>CIL, rehab centers, and most definately part of the training program for
>future medicos. Please help pass the word. And if you're in the SF Bay Area,
>come see this extraordinary video at the SDS conference.

>events on our attitudes toward disability today.
