Film Synopsis
It is the first day of summer in a quiet Midwestern town. Christi eagerly awaits an adventure with her best friend Jim. Today they decide they are on the hunt for frog eggs. Much to their surprise they are followed by Christi's neighbor, Eddie Lee, a little boy with Down syndrome. Jim continues to taunt Eddie Lee, even after Eddie Lee saves him from the pond. When Jim threatens Eddie Lee, Christi is forced to choose between Jim and her new friend.

Be Good to Eddie Lee is a short film that follows the adventures of Eddie Lee, Christi and Jim as they learn the true meaning of friendship and the value of what's inside that counts.

One in every 800 babies is born with Down Syndrome. For these differently abled individuals, inclusion, understanding and acceptance can be a struggle. This film is dedicated to the 400,000 Americans currently living with Down syndrome, their families, and every person who has been touched by knowing someone with Down syndrome.

"It's what's inside that counts."
