OK so the reporter say he "suffers & is a victim"??? Really? This ticks me off to no end why people still write in such a way that makes an entire group of people out to be SUFFERING when they are not! Why are there still reporters that incorrectly write about our wonderful people with Down syndrome suffering and that they are a victim. With reporters and writers and people in general continuing to still talk like those with Down syndrome are SUFFERING...which they are not...society is suffering from still very much outdated world views about a wonderful group of people that are perfectly able and capable of achieving more than most of society ever believed possible! Those with Down syndrome are MORE ALIKE than different than you and me! Watch the YouTube video clips on the upcoming movie and tell me you don't see NORMAL from BOTH ACTORS in this movie! They both found LOVE! Isn't that what we all want and need from life? Even though I don't speak Spanish...just watching the movie trailers, I can tell this is going to be a wonderful movie! Do you think it can have subtitles? I can't wait to see this movie! Looks like a good one! I 'felt' this movie......let me know what you think when you watch the trailer.
