Lifestyles of the Poor and Unknown - preview

This is a preview of a 46-minute documentary made by Nancy Fliesler. For download, streaming, or DVD visit http://www.sproutflix.org/content/lifestyles-poor-and-unknown

This realistic yet loving portrait, made by a sibling, counters saccharine portrayals of people with developmental disabilities. Marni and Kris, married since 1993, live and work in New York City. Aware of their handicaps, they must face peoples' prejudices and their own frustrated ambitions. Laced with irreverent humor, their story questions the meaning of "intelligence."
