She has worked with Channel 4 to make a documentary about disability.
Channel 4 and Rosie hope that the documentary will let people know about the

The documentary has a name which upsets a lot of people: Am I a R****d?
People have told us that they are angry and upset by the name of this documentary.

Mencap are going to have a meeting with Channel 4.
To find out more about how they decided on the name of the documentary.
And how they included people with a
learning disability

We would like to hear what you think about the documentary and how it has made you feel.
