more movies about the downs?
>>212475865 (OP)Los Niños, by Maite Alberdi. Great documentary. All of her films are gratis!
What's eating Gilbert grape and Forrest Gump.
>The film follows a disturbed young man, Martin, who pretends, under the name of Georgie, to be intellectually impaired in order to be near Susan, a girl with whom he has become infatuated. Martin kills those who get in his way.
>The film is notorious for its use of Down syndrome, then referred to as mongolism, as a catalyst for Martin's actions. Letters of complaint were sent to the British censor before the film's release, including one from the National Association for Mental Health. The film's medical adviser, Professor Lionel Penrose, asked for his name to be removed from the film. Roy Boulting said these complaints caused him "shock and surprise and a deep sense of regret and depression". This led to the filmmakers adding a voiceover just prior to the credits which said:
>In view of the controversy already aroused, the producers of this film wish to re-emphasise what is already stated in the film, that there is no established scientific connection between mongolism and psychotic or criminal behaviour.
>Even after that had been added, David Ennals, then a Minister of State, Health and Social Security, said: "I do not wish to criticise the film as a film. But I feel it is extremely unfortunate that despite the spoken disclaimer which precedes it, this film can give the impression that there is such a link."
>As The New York Times put it, "this is a delicate area indeed", going on to describe the film as "more unsettling than rewarding, and certainly more contrived than compassionate".
Every downie I've known was deliberately provocative and used their "handicap" to their advantage knowingly. I treat them all with extreme disdain.

>>212476886I'd have killed myself in hilarious fashion, likely using my downs to create a blackly comedic newspaper article. Say I picked up a power line in County Down, I could be
Downie downed by downed line in downtown County Down.
