I met Bonnie at a peace conference in B.C. last July. The Globe said this about Shameless, which will be aired on Bravo, on Sunday, May 13, 5 pm Pacific Time, 8 pm Eastern time.

“What emerges in SHAMELESS is an intimate look at five artists, all dealing with attitudes towards disability, all finding their way through a culture that views them with revulsion or even suggests they would be better off dead. Klein manages to pull it off, amazingly, without a hint of sentimentality.”
