Attitude TV

Attitude TV is a New Zealand-based television series that can also be watched on the internet. Attitude TV is very much in line with the “nothing about us without us” movement, with outspoken “presenters” or reporters who have disabilities. All three reporters use wheelchairs, but pointedly do not let it stop them from using traditional journalistic shots, for example, establishing scenes that show the reporter entering a building. These kinds of scenes necessarily make the wheelchairs obvious, yet this TV series is all about attitude – and the attitude is just not centered on the wheelchairs themselves, but the fact that these reporters can do the same things as other reporters.

Attitude TV is made up of short episodes featuring individuals in New Zealand with disabilities. Individuals and their families typically discuss their lives in New Zealand – whether their ordinary daily activities or their individual and unique feats. Sometimes the episodes are themed, like several on athletics or the transition from high school to university for adults with disabilities. These episodes are very news-oriented in style, which streamlines the series and denotes it a sense of credibility.

Much of Attitude TV speaks for itself, with the clear intention of giving the representations of disability a make-over. In their own words:

“We want to show all our viewers that people with disabilities:

  • Are movers and shakers.
  • Are elite athletes.
  • Are entrepreneurs.
  • Have a social conscience.
  • Have a political voice.
  • Make a vital contribution to society.
  • Love, laugh and lead amazing lives. "

As claimed by Stanford Medical, It is really the SINGLE reason this country's women get to live 10 years longer and weigh on average 42 lbs lighter than us.

(And really, it has absolutely NOTHING to do with genetics or some hard exercise and really, EVERYTHING related to "how" they eat.)

P.S, I said "HOW", not "what"...
