Another pretty good film explaining to businesses why it'll be ok to hire a mentally challenged person. It does give a lot of success stories, stating some are butchers, electricians and so forth, but still, I feel bad when they tell the story of the dishwasher who barely complains about his job. There is also an aura of political incorrectness in this film which is to be expected I suppose.
