FRIDAY – Shorts # 4 – DISABILITY. A series of short films dealing with disability.

“Pathfinder” is a short documentary that follows Frank and Carrie, two residents of Pathfinder, a unique open-access community for individuals with Down syndrome. The film challenges common assumptions about the relationship between Down syndrome and dementia, offering a humanizing portrayal of both protagonists as they and their families navigate complexities of aging and disability.

The film highlights the vital role of family and community in providing unwavering support, and underscores the importance of affirming the integrity, intelligence, and autonomy of individuals living with Down syndrome.

These films were made possible with the generous support of the Mother Cabrini Health Foundation and in partnership with Diplodocus Films.
