Even “socialist” Europe doesn’t have the functional equivalent of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): An American student goes abroad in a wheelchair. And he’s making a movie about it:

The name of the film is Wheelchair Diaries: One Step Up. "One step up" means that everybody with a disability has that one step up they have to take. It's not a flight of stairs, it's not a $5-million dollar remodeling. It's a piece of plywood that allows them to get up. We all deal with it in different ways. But my message is that we need to realize where that one step is, and put that ramp up. That will make the world of difference for physical accessibility and social inclusion.
