About this

Vinyl banner produced by the Not Dead Yet campaign protesting the release of the romantic drama Me Before You. The image shows a woman gazing at a man whose head is lower than hers, presumably because he is a wheelchair user. Text describes the film as a "disability snuff movie" and mocks the film's "Live boldly" message. The film plot features a disabled man, who having met a non disabled woman, decides to commit suicide. Protestors felt that the film portrayed disabled lives as a burden and not worth living, and contributed to the campaign to legalise assisted dying in the UK
