Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the image of disabled people in movie culture. The focus is on the problem of disability. Although becoming more and more common, it is worth being researched no matter whether the universality of the presence of disabled people shows their true picture. The categories of dehumanization, the concept of role valorization and self-advocacy were used as the basis for considerations, which, in relation to the image of disabled people presented for the majority of Oscar-winning films, describe the evolution of this image.
