Visibility, I see you

I can tell that this will be a great film. This film promotes visibility for the disabled community. The film features a man who is disabled as the protagonist instead of being the sidekick or a side character. Sam Claffin plays William Traynor a man who was left paralyzed after a motorcycle accident. The story follows him and his new caretaker Louisa Clark played by Emilia Clarke as they evolve in their relationship as strangers, friends, and then lovers. From the previews I can see that his disability will play a big part in the story but I don't think they are going to focus solely on this aspect of William's life. Hopefully it will be a story about these two young people and not just a story about overcoming obstacles. The disabled community are real people just like everyone else. They live lives just like everyone else and they fall in love like everyone else. And this is what I hope this film portrays and promotes more visibility to actors and people in this community.
