What a great reminder that this still happens & that this should never go on. It is such an important history for the Down syndrome community & a way never to be towards individuals that have Down syndrome. They are perfect
An amazing and thoughtful film depicting the disturbing thinking of our not so distant past. Beautiful use of color and sound.
I can't believe this happens or is still happening in today's world
Its confronting and shocking but has opened my eyes to a issue I knew nothing about but want to know more about how to stop this kind of hurt and abuse
Well done!!!
Heart breaking and beautiful, like real life. Along with the sad story, comes dreamy warm light, and every frame like your favorite painting.

As an individual with a special needs sister (rett syndrome) this movie was very emotional for me. It's a tear jerker for sure. I personally think it is a great depiction of the struggles of a family with a special needs child. Especially true of that time period. My sister has always been at home. We as a family have made many sacrifices and we wouldn't have it any other way. We know that if the roles were reversed she would do the same for us. We must all remember every family's journey is different. Be supportive. Be kind.
