Documentaries

In honor of Down syndrome awareness month I would like to tell everyone about two exciting documentaries.
The first is 'Monica and David'...it is a documentary about a young couple whom both have DS and it follows them as they get married.  They are amazing individuals and I look forward to viewing it soon with some friends from our support group.  It airs on HBO on 10.23.10 at 9:30 AM ET and 10.26.10 at 2:15 PM ET.

The second is 'Brave in the Attempt'...it is a documentary about people with disabilities and why many are fearful and uncomfortable around them.  It follows a Special Olympics basketball team in their quest to win gold.  It airs on the Documentary Channel which is on Dish Network Channel 197 and Direct TV Channel 267 at 8:00 and 1:00 AM on 10.21.10.  I don't have access to this channel but if anyone does and would be willing to burn it to a CD, I would love to view it.

Both of these documentaries are important because they look more closely into the lives of individuals with disabilities and show us that they are more like us than they are different.  If we all tried to see how these amazing people are like us, instead of how they are different from us, the world would be so much better for all of us.  I know it is hard to do this at times but I challenge you all to try to do so, and reach out to someone in your life that may have a disability and talk to them.  I struggle with this at times too because it is sometimes difficult to come out of our comfort zone and reach out.  Since Will has been in my life I have gained a whole new perspective.  Now I always try to keep in mind that these individuals are someone's 'Will'.  Someone out there loves them and for this reason alone they deserve our respect.
