Code of the Freaks plot

Code of the Freaks presents a comprehensive overview of disabled characters in movies. With hundreds of clips from over 100 years of film production and a cast of disabled practitioners, scientists and activists, the documentary takes a critical look at some of Hollywood's most beloved characters, as well as the stereotypes used. The documentary explores the power of film images to shape the general public's beliefs and behavior toward people with disabilities, and those with disabilities toward themselves.
