Shorty Documentary

9/8/2011

I just recently watched a documentary, "Shorty" about a man in his 50's with Down syndrome named Walter Simms.  He worked at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, primarily with the football team.  This film follows an incredible legacy that he created at Hampden-Sydney and how his presence affected students, faculty/staff, and friends of Hampden-Sydney.  I recommend checking it out. It is available on Netflix through the disc rental.
