A Video in Response to the Use of the R-Word in "Tropic Thunder"

From

A video PSA from The Arc, produced by Will Schermerhorn of Blueberry Shoes Productions (http://www.blueberryshoes.com) and featuring members of The Arc of Northern Virginia, asks, "When you can call me beautiful, when you can call me colleague, when you can call me musician, when you can call me teammate, when you can call me friend, why would you ever call me anything else? People with intellectual disabilities deserve only one R word. Respect."
