The Sandwich Kid The Siblings of People with Disabilities
Normal Films

Disabilities affect not only those who are diagnosed, but they have a strong impact on the siblings of people with disabilities. THE SANDWICH KID seeks to give a voice to those who are impacted by the day-to-day living with a brother or sister having a developmental or other disability.
The film is moved forward by 12 year old Jace King who we first met in big brother Taylor Cross' film, Normal People Scare Me. A formidable force, Jace uses wit, charm and keen insights as his "brothers keeper" to extract laughter and tears in the interviews he conducts with dozens of "sibs", ranging in age from 6 to 59. Along the way, he shares his own struggles and challenges to building a relationship after years of estrangement with his quirky brother. Bring a tissue.

I don't know if it is fair to not include the "hostility" because it's real. That is what happens. And you cannot take away a persons experience. They can process it later. It IS a part of the REALITY. Thank you for the documentary. I tell my oldest and youngest they are allowed to be angry. I was angry. It is part of the grieving process which is very much part of our story. Sadness was also a part just like joy and understanding.
Read lessI agree. I also think many kids will repress their hostility because they don't want to upset their parents. It may not come out until years later, and it may NEVER come out if a parent or a parent-like person is within earshot.
