Tying Your Own Shoes

Overview

Each with Down Syndrome, Daninah Cummins, Katherine Newton, Matthew Brotherwood, and Petra Tolley are young adults with special needs but who live independently. They each speak of their lives: some anecdotes about their past, and their hopes and dreams about careers and love among other topics. With the career, most aspire to be artists and as such their stories are embellished by seeing them at a drawing table working on the animation for this film to accompany their personal stories. —Huggo
