Does Wicked Get Disability Wrong? Part I

Wicked is a film that touches on Disability in powerful ways... but does it get it right? Is the change to a wheel chair right? Is being green a disability? And is this just another example of Hollywood using disability for it's own convenience?

 

**Note in this video I made the error of saying "Wheelchair Bound" rather than "Wheelchair User. Upon reflection I realized that the phrase suggests a kind of trapped quality that is inaccurate to the experience. My apologies for that!
