Documentary film “To Truly Live“ was created within project Freedom of Choice that was implemented by Association of Youth with Disabilities of Montenegro in cooperation with CEZAM, with financial support from US Embassy in Podgorica. It had its premiere on May 5th 2016 on the Independence Square in Podgorica, on the Europe Day. It was a part of national campaign “Independent Life of Persons with Disabilities - to Truly Live“.
“I realized that people who can see, can’t do everything! Many think I’m above average, because I can’t see, because how I organized my life, because how I accept my life, but I’m really not.. I am the same as everyone else, and everyone can do what I did, if they truly wanted to!”
Goran Macanović
