The Teachings of Jon - preview
Loading...
Uploaded by STFFestival on Mar 3, 2008
This is preview of a 57-minute documentary film made by Jennifer Owensby.
This award-winning, soul touching and funny documentary about Jon, a 40 year old man with Down syndrome, ponders the serious questions of how we value each other and what is truly important in life. Although Jon has an IQ of 20 and doesn't talk, he has an important purpose....not necessarily to learn, but to teach.
