Yes! Downies... or the Quest for Golden Birds

DirectorBoris Yukhananov

1997
109 min
Documentary

Delicately securing their lavalier microphones, and frequently glancing back at the camera as if it were a living being demanding warmth and engagement, Sasha, Misha, and Lyosha, who have Down syndrome, reflect on television – on how they see it and in a way we will never be able to. They are playing at television: giving interviews, conducting interviews, and reporting from the protected, pristine country of their own souls.
