Cradle of hope features the progress of twelve developmentally disabled men who belong to Carpenter's Hand.

This television special touches on the history of institutionalization in New York State and the changes that took place after the scandal of Willowbrook was exposed by TV muckraking journalist Geraldo Rivera.

Originally aired on WIVB-TV.
