TOMORROW IS YOURS: A Hidden World (1977)

Directed by David Lean, this short film, made in 1977, is a promotion for Leonard Cheshire's charities which were set up to help disabled people live productive happy lives.

Leonard Cheshire speaks to camera – and David Lean’s behind it. Lean was friendly with Cheshire and directed the low-budget film, produced on behalf of the Ryder-Cheshire charity, free of charge. Cheshire’s wide-ranging discussion of disability here and worldwide, illustrated with interspersed stills and footage, offers up much useful material for anyone studying the history of how disability is viewed.
