The HBO documentary MONICA AND DAVID was available on Youtube, but was taken off, however, it is available on Netflix. This documentary follows a couple who both have Down syndrome and are getting married and navigating through the different considerations for independent living as adults with an intellectual disability. Be sure to check it out!
I also came across two other documentaries on Youtube about a young boy named Peter who has Down syndrome who was part of the first group to be fully included in a regular education classroom. The two documentaries are Educating Peter and Graduating Peter and they are both available on Youtube. Here is the link to the first part of Educating Peter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBv0AedUNI8&feature=related and this is the link to the first part of Graduating Peter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6AwCVg_3fE&feature=related.
