Film Information

The R-Word is a feature-length documentary film about the word ‘retarded.’ The inappropriate use of the r-word continues to marginalize and dehumanize an entire population of people. In light of this, I wanted to find out how, when, and why the r-word became so present in our culture, who this word impacts, and, ultimately, why the conversation surrounding people with intellectual and developmental disabilities needs to change.
