About Me

Take a Bow is a feature lenth documentary about Clare Woods Academy, a school in Bartlett, Illinois for special needs children between the ages of 5 and 21. Each spring, the school puts on a musical play and students with disabilities ranging from Down Syndrome to Autism get up onstage in front of standing-room-only audiences and perform memorized dances and dialogue. It is a film about the underdog, about overcoming obstacles of every kind. These kids are just like every "normal" kid, with the same hopes, dreams, and fears, and we hope that this film will help people who are unfamiliar with the disabled population understand them better. The film also touches on the lack of resources available to the special needs adult population, and will hopefully act as a catalyst to help raise awareness of and support for this issue.********************************* Layout made by linhypoo at CreateBlog.com . .r{} .r{}
