Adapté(s) (2012)
One can't tell at first, but Othemane, Gregory, Badou and Lionel have been labelled mentally disabled. All of them are members of the French Federation for Adapted Sport. They are part of the French Adapted Sport Basketball Team and are training together for the Global Games. Throughout this collective adventure, the documentary will question the very definition of mental handicap: how does society understand mental deficiency? Who are those who have been designated as different? And moreover, how are they different?
