I will post the answer for the first question like this:
My favorite part of the film was the camping experience for persons living with disabilities at camp Jened. More specifically, when Larry Allison, director of the camp said that he wanted to dig some holes for people to fall or run into when they were running around. Considering that people in the camp were living with disabilities, the scene was symbolic of freedom to do anything. In this case, they were allowed to be themselves outside of their conventional lives. As a result, the campers’ experiences invoke a new form of societal attitudes towards all persons living with disabilities. These are reminiscent of isolation and discrimination challenges facing minorities in the US. The scene invokes reflections of a world in which human rights are protected. Other than reshaping society’s attitudes and way of thinking, the scene provides an avenue for deep moral reasoning on how humans should co-exist. Despite being social experimentation, it unearths the intricacies of living with a disability.
