Innovative documentary is among features at first-of-its-kind festival observing World Down Syndrome Day in the city.
The Down Syndrome Resource Foundation is set to mark World Down Syndrome Day on March 21 with a first-of-its-kind film festival in Burnaby.
Written by Niall McNeil, an artist with Down Syndrome, in collaboration with Marie Clements, the documentary provides an intimate look into the artist's limitless imagination, which drives him in his quest for close human connection, and introduces people whom McNeil embraces as family members — people who may not be blood relations, but are nonetheless linked to the artist in heart and mind.
“He creates his own world. He’s created this family too,” one of his family members exclaims in the film. At one point McNeil is asked, “Do you feel it in your heart that it’s real?” he replies, “Yeah.”
