This is an impressive documentary. I really loved it and it touched my heart deeply. I am going to paste down the information that appears in the video to show the reliable description. We should all see this documentary, not only the people who lives in Second Life but also those who do not reside there. It is a beautiful lesson in life without equal. I love these guys.

"Our Digital Selves: My Avatar is Me"  is a new video documentary by Draxtor Despres, which officially unveiled on Thursday, May 17th, to coincide with Global Accessibility Awareness Day.

Draxtor interviewed 13 people with a variety of disabilities for this film. Among the locations which Draxtor visited for this documentary were the corporate offices of High Fidelity and Linden Lab (the owner of Second Life and Sansar platforms).

VIDEO DESCRIPTION ON YOUTUBE: 
"Our Digital Selves: My Avatar is me!" tells the story of 13 global citizens and their avatars as they transcend their various disabilities through artistic expression and making a home for themselves in the VR Metaverse.
The film follows researchers Tom Boellstorff and Donna Davis as they facilitate deep connections between real human beings in virtuality by giving away digital land to build anything the participants of this project can dream up.
As Boellstorff and Davis finish up their 3-year study made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation [entitled “Virtual Worlds, Disability and New Cultures of the Embodied Self”], the film provides a window into a world of seemingly unlimited possibilities for borderless human interaction, irrespective of physical location and or ability.
“Our Digital Selves” weaves together physical and virtual cinematography as the protagonists’ backstories are re-enacted via Machinima.
The film will is available for free on YouTube and as a download for qualifying institutions at http://ourdigitalselves.com/documentary
