What did you like about the film?
I liked everything; it is an amazing film because it shows us the problems that this people may confront.Sometime we don’t realize how hard it is to them because we don’t see it in first person

Nothing, I really liked it

Topic
What did you learn from this film?Picture
I learned that we should be more aware about the problems these people face every day, because we are so full of ourselves, always whining about petty things and we do not see the things thatreally matter.

Did this film change your opinion about any of the issues it addressed? Picture
Yes, I had never thought deeply how difficult it is for people like Radio, whether they havemental retardation, autism or other mental disability, to carry out the activities of every day without being able to do so independently, since they always need the help of another person to continuewith their lives successfully. People like him see the world very different from us. They are children stuck in the body of a grown up and they always will be, they always see the good things andthey will be very naive and vulnerable all their life. Sometimes we are us who are afraid to approach them because we are unsure of how to treat them, but they do not know that, they just think we don’tlike them, therefore, we should be more empathetic and understanding that is much more difficult for them to say hello to someone than to us.
