| | Notes | A documentary produced, directed, and edited by Ira Wohl. A very personal portrayal of the Wohl's cousin who at 52 still has the mind of a 5 year old child. The film won the prize for best documentary in 1980. It focuses on the time when the cousin emerges into the world outside his parent's home. Sorrow, dignity and humour mingle but overall optimistic.
