Including Samuel chronicles the Habib family’s efforts to include their son Samuel, who has cerebral palsy, in every aspect of their lives. The film also portrays the journeys of four other individuals with disabilities and their families. Including Samuel is highly personal, passionately photographed film that captures the cultural and systemic barriers to inclusion.
