18 Netflix Shows Committed to Representing People With Disabilities

Set in the distant future, this Brazilian dystopian series revolves around two communities: the impoverished Inland, and the 3 percent of the population who are lucky enough to live in a virtual paradise known as the Offshore. Fernando, a character with a wheelchair, is notably one of the only candidates with a disability in the 104th Process, which sparks controversy, as other candidates don't believe Fernando can successfully complete the Process. Though actor Michel Gomes is not himself a wheelchair user, he still does an excellent job of portraying Fernando's struggle and determination in the face of adversity.
