There are certain stereotypes of disabled people in Thailand. Often on TV programmes, people with disabilities are portrayed as those who are dependent on others and require donations in order to survive.
To provide a new perspective about disabled people, the College of Educational Innovation Research at King Mongkut s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang (KMITL) has joined hands with the Department for Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities (DEP) under the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security to create seven inspiring movies for seven categories of disabilities.
