Young Beautiful Monsters
From birth to emancipation. From survival to liberation. The story of a fourteen-year-old William afflicted with Cerebral Palsy. His friends call him “Willy, Willy, Wheeling!” William is a bit special, not like boys of his age. Some call it “extraordinary”, most just say “handicapped” or “disabled”.
People feed him, help him drink, take him to the restrooms, brush his teeth and put him to bed…he spends all day sitting in a wheelchair, he can’t move his arms or talk. A poor boy? A monster? A vegetable? A cripple? William is none of these. Despite his physical disability he is mentally absolutely fit and takes his handicap with a sense of humour and stays on top of things.
