When Peter Gwasdauskis, a child with Down
syndrome, was mainstreamed into a public school, he had a lot to learn about
dealing with differences—and so did his classmates. Filmed over the course
of the third-grade school year, this 1992 Academy Award-winning documentary
vividly captures Peter’s achievements and frustrations as he makes a place
for himself among his peers. The program features interviews with Peter’s
parents, teachers, fellow students, and aides, and also illustrates how his
classmates’ wary tolerance grows into sincere acceptance as they actively
involve themselves in his process of socialization. An HBO Production. (32
minutes, color)
