The Look of Others (1980)

Overview

Twenty-four people confide in the camera. What they all have in common is that they have been struck down by a disability, either through an accident or a disabling illness. Now integrated into society, they speak in turn about their lives. Through images and words, issues that affect us all emerge: hope, anxiety about the future, dependence, the attitude of others, their "gaze" and, above all, the sense of fear that the image of disability imposes on the able-bodied.
