How do you believe you can change the world when you can’t even move?

When polio struck 20-year-old Richard Llewellyn in 1957, he had a year in an iron lung to figure out how to live. In ‘Handicapped’, composer Becky Llewellyn, Richard’s wife and carer, reveals the inside story of her 32 years with Richard in a time before support services and basic human rights for people with disability.

This is a personal story of the costs and strains for one family, their day-to-day living with a major impairment and their passion to break down the barriers holding back people with disabilities. Becky’s story is a revealing insider’s look at this era of progress when people with disabilities began to raise their voices for change.
