I was looking at information on intentional villages and came across a village in North Yorkshire, England called Botton. It is considered a social experiment of an environment where nearly half of the residents are adults with learning and mental disabilities. The documentary I am posting a link to is about 45 minutes long but explains day to day life in the village and follows one man as he attempts to go back into society after living in Botton for 25 years or so. It answered a lot of questions I had about watching our class video about the effect intentional communities for these types of individuals has on their long term well-being.
