Silenced: The Hidden Story of Disabled Britain, BBC2 “A powerful documentary that painted a damning portrait of mainstream attitudes towards the disabled. A justified anger rippled through Silenced: The Hidden Story of Disabled Britain. Cerrie Burnell drew movingly on her own experiences in this personal and unflinching account of the disabled community’s hard-fought struggle for equality.” “Thought-provoking stuff, although as TV the programme was particularly moving when looking back into history. While this was illuminating history, with some haunting old photos and footage, it was also an uneasy one. For all the hidden stories of the past, what nagged away was how far there is still to go in attitudes to the disabled.”
