Motxila 21 are a unique rock band … full of strength, passion and enthusiasm… but oh!…there is something peculiar about them … half of the band’s members have Down syndrome and half of them do not.Motxila 21, the documentary is a road Movie.A film made on the road where the journey itself transforms the characters.It’s about diversity, about respect, friendship, creativity, it’s about rock, about music, but above all it’s about people.It shows people with Down syndrome in a very positive light, but without the usual paternalism. We see them laughing, falling in love, singing, getting angry, playing jokes, talking about the things that concern them, confronting problems…The setting, London, a place where some of the most momentous chapters in Rock’s history have been written.It’s also one of the most culturally and socially diverse cities in the world.A place where no one is the same because everyone is different.Because the documentary talks more about us: SOCIETY, than it does about them.
