Remark:
The eponymous protagonist of Michael Akers’ drama Morgan (2012) feels attracted to an able-bodied man after becoming paraplegic following a cycling accident. As Morgan doubts that he will be able to ever have sex again, he asks his physiotherapist quite bluntly: “What can I, you know, do in that department?” (Morgan, 2012, 00:27:31-00:27:35). The same question should be asked by filmmakers in order to question their representations of gender, bodies, and the sexualities of disabled characters in films.
