A TOWN, A SCHOOL EMBRACE INCLUSION! AN INSPIRING STORY OF ONE MAN'S LIFE

An uncommon documentary about a middle-aged man. "Gahanna Bill" chronicles the life of Bill Withrow, a man with developmental disabilities. Living in the small suburban town of Gahanna, Ohio, Bill's unique relationship over the years with the town, its residents and its local high school are all captured in this emotionally powerful film.

Told by the people who know him best, Bill's fascinating story is an interesting look into how one man's life can be an inspiration for so many, and how someone with a disability can overcome obstacles and make an impact in their everyday life. It is a classic example of how community inclusion benefits both people with disabilities and the community they live in.
