People with Intellectual Disabilities Deserve Better
Eliminate the "R" Word
Dream Works, home of Steven Spielberg, put out a film called Tropic Thunder directed by and starring Ben Stiller. The Arc learned of the storyline and its outright attack on people with intellectual disabilities. Executive Director Peter Berns jumped into action with other national disability groups and called for a meeting with Dream Works.
Peter contacted the local Arc Chapter and started a whirlwind process. The Arc staff is implementing a nationwide campaign to protest the portrayal of people with intellectual disabilities in Hollywood.
