- This film reveals a special place where people with intellectual and physical disabilities find a community of acceptance and are given the tools and freedom to reach their full potential. Producer/director Robert Lang introduces us to Martin Langlois, a severely autistic young man, on his way to his new home at "Maison Emmanuel" located in the Laurentians, north of Montreal. This is the first time that Martin will be living away from his parents. They are concerned, but they know the time has come to let Martin go.
One of a worldwide network of similar Camphill centres, Maison Emmanuel creates a nurturing environment, providing activities and therapies that help individuals like Martin realize their full potential.
We follow Martin's gradual integration into the community and meet the residents who work alongside staff and volunteers to maintain a busy household and build caring and stable relationships.
Two months after his arrival, Martin's parents come to take part in preparing the Sunday meal. Martin has adjusted well. As he finds a new place in the world, our perceptions of people with mental disabilities are irrevocably changed.

![The Quality of Life [EXTENDED VERSION] (Documentary about Intellectual Disability) (2015)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/M0EUCyjBmQ8/mqdefault.jpg)
I have lived in that group home before just because i have Down syndrome when people should be inspired. To be like us and we can be like them to
Robbie Anson you are so much better of a person then most people out there who don't have a disability , yourve got moe love ability S , your heart is bigger , your all more kinder , and righteous , God Bless you ,and protect you all from evil DOWERS .
We should be inspired to be ourselves not like someone else. We are all made in the image of God. So be who you are and don’t try to be like someone else. Be you. Love yourself.
I hope these people are truly as kind as they seem to these special people..only God knows
As the mother of a special needs adult child who still lives at home this made my heart full! What a beautiful place y'all have created for these wonderful people! =}
MsDreamcakes doesn't the way they relate to the children seem extremely dated now?
Mothers are so wonderful, we really do love our babies! Take care mumma :)
Have special needs lachelle
Special needs Awareness month 😎😍😅😅🤩😏🤩😅😅😘🤩😘😅🤗🤗🤗🤩😘😅😅😅🤩🤩😘😘😘😘😘😘
@@MudtippedMushroom what a terrible thing to say
As someone who works in this field, this seems like a really good home with really great staff, hopefully they’ve been able to maintain over the years.
Yes, we just visited recently and it's still going strong and the staff are as loving as always.
@@Kensingtontv-inc that’s great to hear, thank you for the update!
I just visited that place a few weeks ago, and now I got recommended that documentary, and it is interesting to see how Martin and the whole place have developed until today, but you can recognize a lot of the things in Maison Emmanuel. What a beautiful piece of history to watch in 2022. thank you :)
Does Martin still live there? Hope he's doing well, he should be around 40 now.
Great documentary. This looks like a wonderful facility with amazing staff. The residents seem genuinely happy with the care in this environment
Wonderful!! Inspirational for all people. Thank you.
Your welcome. I'm glad you found it inspirational.
Thank you for posting this. I am writing a paper on this for homework. It's amazing how times have changed, and a place like Maison Emmanuel was once considered unconventional.
This Place Is Extremely Nice to the People that live here It’s Much Better then Alot of The Places in the USA Sadly ,
i wish there was more places like this in az.. your job is beautiful. wish you all the best.
I live in a great home in northern quebec because I am autistic, Quebec has the best services in all of Canada.
That's nice to hear.
this.. is the exact type home that i work for 😃 I love it
Wonderful and with so much willingness to include all who are fortunate enough to be counted as residents of this fine home. May God bless you always.
Thanks for your kind words Jc!

A beautiful place! Thank you for this remarkable film.
Beautiful that loving people exist willing to help others
Originally I wanted to see something completely different, now I am glad to have found this wonderful insight into the work and life of these wonderful people. This place and its people make this world a better place, create understanding for the many different characters and their quite endearing personalities 🧡. These "children" are not sick, they are just different and each of them is a child of God. I would love to know what happened to this project and its inhabitants, 26 years later? Is there a possibility of an update ? that would be just great - thank you so much for this wonderful documentation and thank you so much to all the wonderful people who made this possible🧡
I can tell you, I was there, just two weeks ago, because I know someone working in that place, and for me it was a wonderful experience, I saw all of the villagers which are in the video and I recognize every single one, everyone has his own personality and now they are fully grown men/women/other, but I have the impression they are happy to be at that place, and enjoy their days, so maybe one day you get the chance to visit them too :) hope I could help you a little bit ☺
We are Not all born with a talent. Yes some have certain genes that give them a step or two ahead of others. Talent also comes from hard work and practice.
I have like them and I never lived like them but love with a good decent good middle class family in not America but a second world country.
Wonderful place, amazing people
That was so sweet and endearing @
awww, the girl at 17:25 is sweet! Guy looking in the window is funny at 17:46!
I'm surprised he wasn't stuck in an institution back then.
I thought this was one of those tik tok houses for a sec. Then I saw the one kid drawing and thought "nah, these guys actually have talent"
i liked this
+CHICKEN SALAD I think all the kids with retardation just wanted to be rockstars lol. I am not a rockstar lol, but I like rockstars!
I hope this place has crb checked t workers. I live in supported living because of physical disabilities, I have an uncle who has a learning disability aspergers he lived with my nan until she passed 4 years ago.
The accordion is also known as a squeeze box
I want an update on all these people what happened when the owners of the facility died
There are no owners of the community and there are no profits to be made - it is the residents and co-workers who ensure its survival with a board of directors that helps ensure the health of the community through fundraising and collaboration with the long-time committed staff, several of whom have been there for decades. It has grown and evolved, but is still a very loving community.

The one guy at 10:48 , they need to fix his arm. He grabs it, and gives this looks like, “this freaking hand! Damn”.
Is it me, or do the older guys all look like Bernie Sanders?
I wish my friend would put his daughter in a place like that
Why
Good grief.
I am like one of them but if they be born in a third world country then they be a bad position
