Petey

Petey tells the poignant story of a man, Petey, who was born with cerebral palsy in 1922 and mistakenly institutionalized for sixty years after being misdiagnosed as intellectually disabled. The narrative follows Petey's isolated life within the institution until he forms an unlikely and transformative friendship with a young boy. This friendship allows Petey to experience the world and express himself for the first time, while also teaching the boy profound lessons about empathy, justice, and the human spirit. It's a powerful story about overcoming adversity, the importance of human connection, and challenging societal perceptions of disability.
