“The challenge of Including Samuel is the public’s challenge:
to create a society that gives every child a place in the community
along with high goals and the tools to reach them. The film is mainly a
personal journey. Its subject is how hard parents of children with
disabilities must fight, and how much help they need, to secure for
their children what other parents take for granted.”
