trouble posting in ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png){kind=small}
transcriptsI've got a draft of a transcript, but it needs some editing and probably has some errors. And also I can't actually see the video on this computer, just hear it, so the visuals are non-existent.
Any help anyone can provide would be awesome, thank you!
[Intro: National Film Board of Canada Presents]
Newscaster Voice over: The fight against helplessness is something the film director has lived with every day. She's fighting her way back from total paralysis as the result of two strokes and radical brain surgery.
It's a big turning point in my rehabilitation is that I met some other people with disabilities.
People with disabilities have not been represented in our media in anything like the truth I've discovered of our lives!
He's like this totally lovable guy, just like me! When I look in the mirror, what I look at it is my eyes and my smile.
I don't have to uphold this vision or image of inspiration and virtue, where i have to behave. I want to be bad too!
I am genetically atypical. A fugitive from the laws of genetic science.
I want to know more about your relationship.
Okay!
Oho!
I really do have a real learning disability. I hate that it gets to me.
People are inspired by me. I could out there and take a dump, you know, and people would say "Oh, he's so courageous."
People can't imagine a life worth living that's different from what they know.

[The director is making her way down a path to a shore and setting up a camera on a rocky beach (lakeside?)]
Newscaster Voice over: The fight against helplessness is something the film director has lived with every day. [Some people and a dog walking and wheeling (in wheelchairs) along a road. Caption: a film by BONNIE SHERR KLEIN] She's fighting her way back from total paralysis as the result of two strokes and radical brain surgery.
[The people are lined up in front of what looks like a painting on the road surface] It's a big turning point in my rehabilitation is that I met some other people with disabilities.
[Now they are watching "The Elephant Man" on a TV]
People with disabilities have not been represented in our media in anything like the truth I've discovered of our lives!
He's like this totally lovable guy, just like me! [caption identifies speaker as DAVID ROCHE. He's looking in a mirror, with a lot of portraits on the wall behind him] When I look in the mirror, what I look at is in my eyes and my smile, and I practice looking cute.
[GEOFF McMURCHY] I don't have to uphold this vision or [scene change to Geoff on stage at an award ceremony, "The Courage to Come Back" I think. He continues in voiceover] image of inspiration and virtue, where i have to behave. I want to be bad too!
[CATHERINE FRAZEE] I am genetically atypical. A fugitive from the laws of genetic science.
[Two women are being interviewed, possibly in a pub; one has something in a box (card game?) with "Queer" on the cover] I want to know more about your relationship.
Okay!
Oho!
[PERSIMMON BLACKBRIDGE] I really do have a real learning disability. I hate that it gets to me.
[This is David again] People are inspired no matter what you do. I could out there and take a dump, you know, and people would say "Oh, he's so courageous."
[Someone in a wheelchair attached to a pole, and someone attached to a pole by a belt, are doing aerial performance] People can't imagine a life worth living that's different from what they know.
