I would urgently like to hear from disabled people and people working with those who have learning disabilites abouttheir views on a very controversial film called The Idiots written and directed by Danish Lars von Trier.

I am disabled and doing an interview on TV about it and I would like to be speaking on behalf of other disabled people who have seen it not just myself if possible.

Trouble is interview is Friday 9th today and I leave home soon after 2pm!

Any helpful comments welcomed!
