Disability as inspiration?

Trending

Available for over a year

Videos and adverts that show people with disabilities "overcoming" adversity are often posted online, along with the caption 鈥淏e Inspired鈥�. Some critics have labelled this "inspiration porn" and see it as oversimplifying disability and using it as an emotional hook for non-disabled people. Presenter Mukul Devichand is joined by bloggers Mel Finefrock and Charlie Swinbourne to discuss.
