Cocktails with Ben is the story of an amazing young man with Williams Syndrome named Ben Monkaba. This short film, which is narrated by Ben's mother, Terry, chronicles Ben's life from childhood to the present day. Despite severe medical hardships, learning disabilities, and challenges "fitting in" with peers, Ben's love for life, and for music, shines through. Cocktails with Ben is a testament to the human spirit with "life lessons" for all.
This unique film is part of the Sprout Touring Film Festival (showcasing films related to the field of developmental disabilities).
