A Day in the Life of Bonnie Consolo

This Academy Award-nominated short focuses on a woman who has no arms, forcing her to use her feet as her hands. Far from being a human interest story, "A Day in the Life of Bonnie Consolo" is a straightforward production, showing her managing easily. No self-pity, no pleas for sympathy, just the facts. Basically, the documentary shows that people with disabilities are perfectly capable individuals. I recommend it.

Amazing documentary film presents the daily challenges faced by Bonnie Consolo, an armless woman, and her determination to overcome them. See her drive, cook, and shop like anybody else...because, simply, she IS like anybody else, despite the fact that she must use her feet as hands.

A remarkable attestation to strength of character and the potential of applied will power, it is also a reminder that we should never take for granted even the most fundamental things in our lives. Despite having no arms, Mrs. Consolo is healthy and happy, with a wonderful family. She is by no means an unfortunate person...she is, in fact, quite blessed.

This film, as simple a thing as it is, is a laudable achievement. 8/10
