Ritmo del Agua
Director
Richard Herrera is a champion swimmer from Coahuila, Mexico, who has won gold at numerous international events. Earnest, passionate and devoted to his parents, the young man proves to his family and peets, that Down’s Syndrome does not get in the way of achieving your dreams. Director Ariel Danziger took a very different approach to the filming of Ritmo del Agua. It’s light-footed, monochrome depiction of Herrera’s interior world is a far cry from the glossy, cinematic pacing of previous projects, such as Somewhere and Jamila. Instead, Danziger shoots straight for the heart in a pared-down documentary profile stitched together using the protagonist’s emotional bonds.
Heart Felt
Editor
This documentary film captures the stories of people across five different countries engaged in a fight against the same common enemy-LDL cholesterol (LDL-C). It shows their struggles, reveals their fears, and tells true stories of courage-taking a condition that too often goes unnoticed and making it felt. - From IMDB
