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 “Be Inspired”. 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.
