Went to see http://www.facebook.com/wherehopegrows, which unfortunately is not showing anywhere in MA, so we had to drive to RI to catch it. Totally worth it, awesome movie! David DeSanctis's role is important to the plot, but the movie is much more about the alcoholic father and his relationship with his daughter than about Down syndrome. The movie also tastefully tackles situations where characters use the "r-word" (http://therword.org/). All in all, a very well-done independent film. Please go see it tomorrow!
I agree, it was an awesome movie! Highly recommended.
