Book of the Week
This week's DVD of the Week is Breathe.
 Robin Cavendish showed the world that physically disabled people can do more than breathe, and his energy is the focus of this biographical drama.  He and his wife, Diana Blacker, lived more vigorously than many couples even after Cavendish was paralyzed from the neck down by polio at 28. Together, they argued that disabled people have much to live for and much to offer, backing it up with lived experience. The lead duet perform well and drive the emotional performance.
