So, 'The 17%' is really interesting. It’s a documentary directed by Aaron Johnson that dives deep into the life of Collette Divitto, an entrepreneur with Down syndrome. The film really captures her journey of creating a cookie company that’s not just about selling sweets but reshaping workplace culture. The atmosphere is hopeful yet grounded, showcasing real stories of struggle and triumph. What stands out is how it addresses the staggering unemployment rate for disabled individuals—like, 83%—and how Collette’s approach focuses on individual strengths, flipping the narrative. The pacing flows nicely, giving you space to absorb her impact while also keeping you engaged with her story. It’s a distinct portrayal of resilience and innovation in a world that often overlooks these narratives.
