The Teachings of Jon
Article today in the Durham Herald Sun about a film documentary called “The Teachings of Jon”. Looks like an interesting film project by the family of a man with down syndrome. The film starts airing on PBS stations across on the country on April 10. The web site, theteachingsofjon.com, has the schedule of showings as well as a link to purchase the DVD which releases after June 1, 2006. Here is a quote from the web site:
“While being compelling and entertaining, “The Teachings of Jon” teaches families affected by disabilities and general audiences alike that when life gives you a devastating blow and you can’t change your situation, what you can change is how you think about your situation. This inspirational story of a family’s journey is about honesty and redemption, acceptance and growth that offers people hope.”
