This is about “Love at Second Sight”, a short movie about facially different David Roche and his wife, Marlena Blavin
David Roche was a featured Cool Cat on this blog in 2013 (read the interview linked here!)
I have been a fan of his forever, for so many reasons.
One, I think it takes real balls to get up and out there when you are facially different, and claim stake in an area of diversity that is shied away from.
Two, he’s funny.
Three, he’s accessible, kind.
David & His Wife Have a New Video Out: Love at Second Sight
Their video, Love at Second Sight, is a little over 20 minutes long.
It’s essentially a training video, it’s shot with a mesmerized group of kids in a school training, and I think it’s remarkable.
Here, you watch it:
I think what is going to make this really perfect for training is an accompanying study guide, or questions to continue the conversation with the kids, ways to further integrate the concepts learned in the video.
So, that’s something to add and expand on.
In the meantime, I’m adding this short to my roster of awesome disability awareness videos.
