Tying Your Own Shoes, Shira Avni, provided by the National Film Board of Canada

Petra, Matthew, Katherine and Daninah offer an inside perspective about what it feels like to be born a little bit unusual. This animated documentary combines self-portraits with first-person narratives to challenge widely-held stereotypes about Down Syndrome.

Filmmaker Shira Avni pursues a deeper understanding of esteem and disability. While Down Syndrome if often discussed in terms of disability, Tying Your Own Shoes is an artful, four-way essay about ability.
