Raymond Hu is a talented young Chinese brush painter who was born with Down Syndrome. Through revealing interviews with Raymond, his family, and his art teacher, this documentary traces the personal and artistic growth of a prodigy whose circumstances have nurtured within him an emotional intensity and resiliency of spirit that finds dramatic expression in his works.
“A fascinating look at a truly talented and unique artist. Also gives us insight into the everyday life of an individual with Down Syndrome. Highly Recommended.”
