>> Dear all,
>>
>> one of my students wants to know more about the depiction of handicapped
>> people in Japanese film (or is "physically challenged" the right word?) and
>> is looking for films.
>> The student is not in graduate class, and he is handicapped himself,
>> otherwise I would only send him to the library for a couple of weeks.
>> However, in this special case, I want to help him more. Unfortunately, I
>> could only give him some advice, Yamanaka Sadao or Zatoichi, films he
>> already knew.
>>
>> That is why I turn to our list for help: any help is welcome.
>> Thank you very much
>>
