Oliver : a short film

Here's a short film about a young man with Down syndrome - who deals with his experience of being bullied in a creative way.



[visual description:In this short film entitled Oliver, a young man with Down syndrome is stopped by a bully on his way home from work. A coworker comes to his aid. That night, as he lays in bed, he replays the scene in a cartoon/comic strip montage, with himself as Superman. In the comic strip, he confronts the bully, takes away his cigarettes and tells him that smoking isn't good for him. He gets out of bed in the morning and you can see a Superman outfit underneath his work clothes.]
