A Special Person Endorses Obama
Up and coming young filmmaker Will Drinker has had his own share of health challenges over the years but he continues on the fast-track to a high profile film career (his Color Me Blind short is truly a classic of message comedy). But now he has a NEW major project: making a documentary detailing the life of his brother Dan, who has Downs Syndrome.
He already has bits of the video on the website he and his brother created to promote the project www.dandrinker.com — including a moving segment where Dan on camera learns of a death and deals with mourning.
But now it’s political season — and Dan is extremely interested in the campaign and following it closely. He can vote and he has his preference. So here in this video you can watch brother Will interview his beloved brother, who has his own short-hand way of articulating his view.
Dan has been following the presidential campaign with great passion. He has been talking my ear off recently about Senator Obama and I decided, after his speech in our native Philadelphia, that it was time to ask Dan to share his thoughts. I have always thought my brother to be an excellent judge of character and I feel his opinion is as valuable as the most famous or respected political authority because he speaks the truth and adds nothing more.
Please pass this along if you believe in having something to believe in. Be it Dan, or Barack, or Hillary, or McCain, or Ralph Nader, or yourself.
