Martina och jag
In 1974 documentary film maker Tom Alandh did a TV story about institutions for the mentally retarded. Then he met Martina, who was five and who had Down syndrome. For 35 years, which is unique in the Swedish television history, Tom Alandh and photographer Björn Henriksson has followed Martina's struggles against all odds.
Martina har sett alla mina filmer
'Martina och jag', from 2008, was intended to be the last film about Martina Schaub, a woman with Down's Syndrome. But now, another ten years later, director Tom Alandh returns to Martina's world once more. She has been a part of Tom Alandh's filmography since she was five, and now at fifty, new challenges present themselves.
