Madame Rosa: Love and Belonging
One of the most powerful disability justice films I’ve ever seen isn’t technically called a disability film.
Madame Rosa is about an elderly Jewish Holocaust survivor and a young Arab/Muslim boy building a family together in Paris. The film deals with trauma, aging, mental health, poverty, dignity, institutional fear, and caring for people society ignores.
What I love most is that it shows Jews and Arabs loving each other as human beings — protecting each other instead of fearing each other.
To me, that spirit of compassion across difference is part of what accessibility and disability justice should mean.
