My Uncle Joe Featured Documentary

Joe Rogers plays the blues. And he lived it, spending half his time in an institution for people labeled "mentally retarded." But Joe got out of the institution and he lives his full life in the community that had rejected him. In this profile Joe's nephew, filmmaker Bill Rogers (W. C. Rogers) amplifies Joe's voice and magnifies his image so that no one will dismiss Joe Rogers again. In the process of the film Joe returns to Fernald State School and the Templeton Colony and shows staff there just how far he has come. He finds his way through the complicated world we all find ourselves, choosing not only what he wants in his life, but how he wants it. Cheryl Chisolm calls Joe and the film "Unforgettable." A choice for the select MacArthur Foundation Video Library and nominated for an Emmy as well as recipient of a Blue-Ribbon at the American Film & Video Festival and Outstanding Video at the New England Film & Video Festival. 1991
