About This Movie
The Children of San Simon is a poignant documentary that captures Sima Shimony's deeply personal quest to reconnect with her past at the 'ALYN' Institute. The film has this raw, intimate feel, partly due to Sima's use of a small camera on her wheelchair, which brings you into her world. There's a certain nostalgia woven through the story, reflecting on friendships and memories from the 1960s that resonate beyond just the scope of disability. The pacing is contemplative—allowing the viewer to sit with the weight of her journey. It’s not just about looking back; it's about understanding the significance of those connections in a place that felt like home. The atmosphere is both reflective and tender, and Sima's passion shines through her candid interviews.
