Farrelly Brothers Receive Ruderman Family Foundation Honor for Disability Inclusivity in Film

"We decided to include people with disabilities in the stories we tell because they are a part of our lives and it's not a real world if it does not include everybody," the Farrelly brothers said while thanking the foundation for the honor.

Peter and Bobby Farrelly are being honored with the Morton E. Ruderman Award in Inclusion by the Ruderman Family Foundation for their inclusive and accurate depictions of people with disabilities. "Despite its immense potential for leadership in inclusion, social justice and civil rights, Hollywood has for far too long left disability out of the conversation about diversity. But changemakers like the Farrelly brothers are indispensable players in efforts to shift the conversation," said Jay Ruderman, president of the Ruderman Family Foundation.

In a taped response, the Farrelly brothers thanked the foundation for the honor and shared that their reasoning for including people with disabilities in their films is "not to make a statement but to tell the truth." "When we started making movies, we decided to include people with disabilities in the stories we tell because they are a part of our lives and it’s not a real world if it does not include everybody. We are honored to receive the 2019 Morton E. Ruderman award. For us to be associated with the work of the Ruderman Family Foundation is a great honor, and we thank them for their tireless work to create a more inclusive society," the Farrelly brothers said.

YMMV. I am trying to rationalise myself into liking the movie as I am an ardent admirer of Scorsese movies, but I am just unable to get into the groove of the movie. Should I try for the third time?
