This is an important film that all students should have as mandatory information in their US history classes. It should also be mandatory education for all health care professionals. Thank you Jim and Judy for this documentary, I hope you win an Oscar for your work!
Sadly I think that while these things may have been good, I have read how this has hurt small businesses. recently in Modesto California and surrounding areas there have been various law suits against small businesses. Some can settle out of court, but some can't, and have to close. the person who does this is what I guess I would call a Serial Law Suit person.
@@elnick1000 so what you're saying is that disabled people are less than small businesses? that you think that disabled people are serial law suit people because they want basic human rights like you have? sure, making businesses accessible is expensive, but it's a basic human right. why give business to businesses that don't think disabled people deserve the right to shop there? they either make their business super successful for able people OR do the right thing AND widen their business for disabled AND those that care about disabled. it's basic humanity.
@@larawalker there was an article regarding Modesto, I would have to read it again as I wrote this a while ago. Perhaps you should look it up. But what might happen eventually, is that people, especially in California as they make things difficult for people to start small businesses, then only the big chains will be able to succeed. Also as I recall, this was just one person who wanted to sue everyone.
If you turn on closed captions (I know, they should automatically be on), they're exactly what is said. I imagine the Netflix documentary is the same way.
If you can prove it like you say you can then please do so! let people know where to look and/or show them by giving them the link to a video if that is the case!!!
@@nickmasuen1859 There is not a court that would hear the case. All American Judges are BAR Legal Clerks that Get their permission to practice law from the Crown of England.
For all the flaws of the uk. We definitely have a more disability friendly society. I have a hidden disability, causing vomiting, blindness, seizures, severe pain ect. Having a seat on the bus I don't have to walk through people helps which is common here. They even lower down for when I'm on crutches or if u have a wheel chair! Ramps and push to open door buttons are very common and helpful if I'm weak. We have disabled toilets in most venues and city centres. A safe place I can take injections and throw up in private. I also can wet myself from seizures and now I have agoraphobia because I'm scared of falling ill out of my home. Iv had people tell me I'm faking or to move for them as they are too big. Or that I use a disabled toilet or seating because it's best if I need to have a clear space to have a seizure without hurting myself! This stigma needs to stop now!
I can tell you my story and experience with being handicapped, denied benefits, discriminated against for being homeless, but I persevered by working for uber, then I have experienced advocating on behalf of seniors who were held hostage by drug traffickers, how we are sexually assaulted and for speaking out against it, we are accused after numerous attacks. Oh by the way I am not Gay, but if it happened to me ad a heterosexual, imagine what Gay people go through too! imagine also how they were assaulted too! That is the truth! How if I speak out about the thefts of my family’s real estate and it happened to me? are ridiculed for it. Oh by the way and being nice about it! How prostitutes preyed on the elderly too! In Chicago on 52md and King Dr. I’m in production too! Experiences are educators to the masses. That way they can learn how to protect themselves. I am that person. I know about the hardships. This is not just a right or left issue. It is a country issue.
The ADA is a good starting point but we need to advocate for more! Say yes to Universal Design!

And HR managers learning about important pieces of legislation.
Agreed!
@@jafuni9349 YES!!
Thank you, Judy! You've changed the world.
Accessibility fixes an *inefficiency* - it makes access to the world more efficient for *everyone* - and for some, it removes a barrier to equality.
Thank you so much for making this video! Thank you Judy for all you’ve done to change so so many lives for the better.
A wonderful expose of a world most of us take for granted. Brilliant documentary folks
I’m not disabled, but I’m glad the ADA and sec 504 exists. Still, we need to be vigilant to make sure laws are applied. It’s the right thing to do.

@@elnick1000 you didn't answer any of my questions.
Spectacular! Disability discrimination totally sucks!
This is a great way of letting people be more aware. There is so much more to be done. But these things are a beginning
WHY are the disabled stalls the last one? It makes it really hard to use it.
Deal with it, my God.
Preach! I can understand why that would feel lousy.
@@tyd8077your saying someone should deal with not being able to use the bathroom
@@USA-o5o No, I'm saying deal with it being the last stall. Don't be a drama queen.
I think it’s because ADA stalls have handrails and they’re easier and safer to mount on the walls than on another stall.
Amazing video!! Great short overvuew
We need these changes in Australia regards from oz
Great! Informative.
This need subtitles for Neil so we can hear his words ❤️💪

TH-cam has been violating ADA for yours. I Can Prove It!!!
If you can prove it like you say you can then please do so! let people know where to look and/or show them by giving them the link to a video if that is the case!!!

@@nickmasuen1859 PS I have no legal standing in the American court system because I was born without a Birth Certificate.

it’s just baffling there were once no big stalls
The ADA does not get re.enforced... no! Experience says.... who cares, when someone asks for help, is that fair!*?
Who's the one jerk who gave this a thumbs down? FFS.
now its 2
Now it's 3.
do you still see the down votes? i don't and i think that its yt trying to hide behavior like this. gross.
And yet it's still hardtop go on un harassed by the police
