Talent. And what prevents that talent progressing in the world of work? Misconceptions about what people with disabilities can and can’t do. We developed a campaign film that, featuring individuals who defy these ‘invalid opinions’, asked the viewer to confront any personal misconceptions that could be inadvertently contributing to people with disabilities being held back at work.

Since then, the work has achieved more than one million impressions – without a single penny spent on media. The film has been supported by NGOs, ILO member businesses and Hollywood stars, but the greatest evidence of its success will come when we see more people with disabilities entering and progressing in the world of work.
