Beyond Stairs
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.

The Part That Burns
In her fiercely beautiful memoir, Jeannine Ouellette recollects fragments of her life and arranges them elliptically to witness each piece as torn and whole, as something more than itself. Caught between the dramatic landscapes of Lake Superior and Casper Mountain, between her stepfather's groping and her mother's erratic behavior, Ouellette lives for the day she can become a mother herself and create her own sheltering family. But she cannot know how the visceral reality of both birth and babies will pull her back into the body she long ago abandoned, revealing new layers of pain and desire, and forcing her to choose between her idealistic vision of perfect marriage and motherhood, and the birthright of her own awakening flesh, unruly and alive. The Part That Burns is a story about the tenacity of family roots, the formidable undertow of trauma, and the rebellious and persistent yearning of human beings for love from each other.
