OK, Let's Talk About Me!
Meet Eddie. He's a 17 year-old boy with Down's syndrome. He's stubborn and charming, funny and sometimes temperamental. OK, Let's Talk About Me! defies stereotypes of a person with Down's syndrome and explores, implicitly the notion of choice and control in Eddie's life. How will Eddie respond to the changes being imposed on him and how will turning 18 live up to his high expectations? Through the course of this documentary the viewer is invited to get to know Eddie – a rare treat – and journey with him as he turns 18 and prepares to leave school.
"Next year I'm gonna be 18, when I'm 18 I'm gonna get my own place, have a car, have a nude girlfriend and you can come around to my place for pizza." - Eddie on his 17th birthday.
Director Sophie Hyde and Producer Bryan Mason will be guests of the Festival
