The award winning US documentary
Monica and David, following a couple who both have Down syndrome from their wedding through the first year of their marriage, is now available for Down Syndrome NSW members to borrow from the
library. The library copy is the 'education edition' that includes extra film, ranging from deleted scenes to interviews with parents of adults who have Down syndrome (including the parents of another married man), and some well known professionals discussing adult matters.
Monica and David is much more than a wedding video - it is thought provoking, and sometimes challenging. Borrowers might consider getting together with a group of friends for a group screening, and to discuss some of the issues with.
There is already a short waiting list to borrow - so put your name down now if you are interested.
A home edition, without the extra educational footage is scheduled to be released in December.
