Stateline interview with cast and crew of Beautiful
Genevieve Clay's website Busstop Films
Deedah (25 mins) is a account of a seven-year old girl’s relationship with her six-year old brother, who has Down syndrome, produced by their mother, a media professional. Our previewer's assessment:
.... very much a snapshot of a young sister’s perspective. A little naive but sweet.The clear message is that Jonathan is just one of the kids and is loved by his sister.
