Congratulations on a wonderful film and thanks to you and to the Lieblings for inviting others into their lives. I was touched and honored to be a part of the experience as I sat transfixed by the movie yesterday afternoon, and have been talking about it nonstop today.

We just watched your movie and was very moved. We are parents of a son that is so much like Lior we were amazed. We are not Jewish, but Christian, and Ben, born in '92 with DS, still sings to the Lord daily for hours at time, at the top of his lungs and with all his heart. He also loved to watch Full House (noticed it on the TV..) and wants to be married and have children more than anything.
Thank you for making a movie that shows the world the depth of love and spiritual awareness that someone with DS can have. Lior is an amazing young man, and I hope you continue your blog to let us know about his life as he matures. It would be a great contribution and help to the entire DS community!
blessings! Bob & Deb Maubach, parents of Ben, 19
