Produktbeschreibung
BEYOND STAIRS is a movie in ten episodes in which the author highlights the prejudices that society has regarding disabled. For some, a disabled is a useless being; he or she should not go to school. For others, he or she has no right to work and therefore must beg in the streets. For others, a disabled person is a mystical being who could only bear disabled children and therefore, should not get married. In this jail-like universe, the disabled must struggle to prove that he or she is equal, and perhaps even superior, to other people. Born in a Christian family, Ouabo Esaie Legrand, also known as Professor Ouele was born on February 6, 1965 in Bangoua Hospital (West Cameroon). At nine months of age, he can walk and run. However, at 12 months, poliomyelitis paralyzes him and condemns him to crawl for many years.
Autorenporträt
Professor Ouele is a teacher as well as a consultant in education. He holds a Ph.D. in education. He holds two master's degrees: the first one in philosophy and the second one in special education. He also holds two bachelor's degrees: one in business administration and another one in education. He has been a teacher since 1992. He has taught various subjects at all grade levels in general education, in various countries. He switched to special education for two reasons: first, students with disabilities need more help, and he wanted to dedicate most of his time to supporting them; second, he is physically impaired. He always uses his own example as a successful person with impairment to motivate his students. He has a clear understanding of the challenges the school system is undergoing. For him, the educational system is collapsing and needs urgent therapy.Professor Ouele is the author of several books, among them Beyond Stairs (or Au-delà des escaliers) - which will soon be made into a movie. Professor Ouele is also a musician and the author-composer of several albums. He is, finally, an activist. He fights for a fairer world and considers himself as the voice of the voiceless.
