Monday July 26, 2010 marks the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The Census counts 54 million disabled people in the country. Jane Seymour's new PSA, showcasing the contributions of many others in Hollywood, is doing its part to celebrate and continue to raise the profile of the disabled.

The ADA originated on the east coast and its impact is being felt across the country. The movement is being celebrated by filmmakers in both the feature and independent film worlds: by James Cameron's "Jake Sulley" character in Avatar, and the real life version -- Oscar "Oz" Sanchez in the Academy qualified independent documentary Unbeaten by documentary filmmaker Steven C. Barber. Vanilla Fire Productions and Polaris Global Media produced a film about disability which is now qualified for Academy consideration for 2011. (The filmmaker's first film Return To Tarawanarrated by Ed Harris, is now showing on the Discovery Network's Military Channel; The WWII CSI-style recovery sequel will be shot August 8-31, 2010 in The Pacific and calls for another A-list celebrity to narrate.) Both films Avatar and Unbeaten, together uplifted the heart of the disability community with a pre-anniversary screening in DC at the world renowned Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where the film-makers received the coveted Commander's Coin for their healing mission which was showcased on CNN's American Morning with John Roberts, when they delivered Avatar DVDs donated by Avatar's Jon Landau to 300 wounded marine veterans in May 2010.

Independent filmmaker Steven Barber's documentary about Cooper's visit, "Return to Tarawa: The Leon Cooper Story," narrated by actor Ed Harris, was a hit on the Military Channel and led to appearances for Cooper and Barber on ABC's "World News," CBS with Katie Couric, and CNN with Larry King. It led to an amendment written into the House version of the U.S. defense authorization bill in 2009 calling on the Pentagon "to undertake all feasible efforts to recover, identify and return" the missing remains of 564 U.S. service members killed in the Battle of Tarawa. And on Thursday, it led to a team from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, based in Hawaii, getting on a C-17 cargo aircraft for a recovery mission to Betio Island, where Barber is now filming the sequel.

He was floored by the power and excitement of the competition and immediately went to see an old friend, Malibu philanthropist and CEO of John Paul Mitchell Systems, John Paul DeJoria.

“Like 99 percent of the American public, I didn't know anything about disabled athletes,” Barber said. “When I told J.P. about the race, he said right off he would sponsor a team. After I started shooting some footage I thought would be good for marketing, I realized that there might be a documentary here.”

HBO Honors Us with Private Screening

HBO Honors WWII Veteran with Private Screening of The Pacific

HBO recently honored WWII Veteran Leon Cooper, Filmmaker Steven C. Barber and Associate Producer Tamara Henry at HBO's corporate headquarters in Santa Monica, California.

PR Log (Press Release) – Mar 19, 2010 – Leon Cooper, the subject of the award-winning documentary www.ReturnToTarawa.com on the Discovery Network's Military Channel, was recently invited to a private screening in Santa Monica of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks' ten-part HBO series The Pacific. Photos from the event can be seen here: http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddb56tbv_393gff6sjf7

Cooper was accompanied by award winning filmmaker Steven C. Barber and associate producer Tamara Henry.

HBO CEO Bill Nelson arranged for this amazing tribute and welcomed Cooper by extending an invitation that said, "I salute you for your heroic service to this great country. HBO would be pleased to have you review this film in a private setting at our Santa Monica office."

Cooper was visibly moved throughout the presentation and was especially hard hit when the scene of the higgins boat instantly transported him back to 1943 where he was a real life higgins boat commander in six operations of the Pacific theater.

Cooper remarked, "The music that Hans Zimmer scored for this piece was especially moving to me."

Barber commented, "I would personally like to thank HBO for this magnanimous private screening for 90-year-old WWII Veteran Leon Cooper."

Barber has been invited by JPAC to go back to Tarawa this summer 2010 to search for the remains for more than 300 missing marines that are still unaccounted for on the atoll of Tarawa. Barber says, "Spielberg and Hanks' timing could not be better as our film Return to Tarawa was so powerful that we were able to enact legislation based on the power of Return to Tarawa on the Discovery's Military Channel." Barber plans on going back for his third documentary on this gripping subject matter.

Leon Cooper is finishing his third book titled "Searching for Private Somes" based on his time on Tarawa where he located the grave-site of a PFC Somes that is memorialized and buried in the New Zealand memorial known as the Coast Watchers. Cooper is also busy on a day-to-day basis with his new non-profit to help shed light on the MIA situation.

"I want to be making movies that matter,
not necessarily movies that make money.
Twenty-six years in this town, I am [surrounded by]
nepotism and greed, and experience gut wrenching
rejection from people every single day," said Barber.
"[I want to be remembered] as a guy who's unbeaten."
