Rarely do my two prime interests – film and disability – merge, and when they do it’s seldom good. Look at lars von trier’s Das Idioten, for instance. But now comes ‘The last American freak show’, about some self-confessed freaks touring America performing ‘acts’. Now, I have no problem with this – if they want to degrade themselves by performing like animals its their choice. Just keep the fire-pissing-hobbit away from me!
