Shortly after World Down Syndrome, Australian filmmaker Peter Cannon has announced that he hopes to make a statement about the often overlooked condition that will be impossible to ignore with his new film, Just Like U, set to both educate and inspire. Ty Belnap (pictured) is the leading man in the film, which largely mirrors his own life. Beginning as an entirely fictional film, director Peter Cannon changed his story when he met Ty Belnap and his family at the Australian Down Syndrome Association. The story was expanded to include many of the hardships that Belnap has faced growing up.
