"You and I" is an educational film currently being created by SeeAbility's eye 2 eye project in Bristol. The film contains three short stories - having an eye test and getting glasses, having a cataract operation, and the importance of regular eye health checks and sight tests. The film will be distributed across the UK free of change to educate people with a learning disability, their families and carers and health and social care staff on the importance of eye care and vision for people with learning disabilities. The film is made in partnership with The Misfits, a local Bristol theatre group for people with a learning disability. The Misfits have been rehearsing for this film for around 6 months and filming, which started on the 23rd March 2007, has taken place in and around Bristol - including the Bristol Eye Hospital.

The group who made this DVD is made up of people with learning disabilities and United Response staff. They want to show how often people with learning disabilities are mistreated in every day situations. The group was involved in every aspect of making the DVD, sometimes learning new skills along the way: from storyboarding to filming through to post production. The DVD develops skills to communicate and understand better. The DVD is made up of five dramas, each showing a different example of discrimination.
