Perfectly Normal for Me
United States | 2017 | 57 minutes | Director: Catherine Tambini
In this intimate documentary, a group of kids from ages 5 to 15 reveal what it’s like to live with a variety of physical and developmental challenges. Alexandria, Jake, Caitlin, and Veronica struggle to be included in a world that largely avoids them.
As this moving narrative unfolds, the kids’ devoted parents seek out opportunities for them to feel valued, including a unique after school dance program in Queens, NY. There, the kids join with teenage volunteer helpers with an ambitious goal: a spring recital. In the process they create an inclusive environment too often absent in our world.
