碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 廣播電視學研究所 === 100 === This film records my family’s wholehearted devotion to my little brother with cerebral palsy. It reveals how my grandmother and family members fight with the misfortune and transcend it. As a practice of self-healing, I obtain courage and confidence to face the trauma that has been buried in my mind since my little brother became disabled through the whole process. I apply the“Participatory Mode”of documentary to record how my little brother and my family live their lives to reveal their unyielding spirit. I hope this film can change the stereotypical impressions of the disabled and their families in the society and let people truly understand the tight inter-subjective bonds between the disabled and their families. The thesis declares my motives and story background of this creation in the first part. It then reviews the literary writings about self-healing, cerebral palsy, family caregiving, and documentary directing. In the third part, I explain all the treatment of my film.
