This Is My Sister is a new movie that will be shown on Wisconsin Public Television on Friday, May 25th. I'd love to hear from those of you who watch it. What did you think of it? Can you relate to any of the people in the movie? What did you like? What didn't you like? What would you suggest to the characters in the movie to help promote self-determination? Share your thoughts here...

A note about tonight's premiere of This Is My Sister.

From the beginning, This Is My Sister was going to be a handmade film. Every frame has my DNA on it in some form because it was made over the last two years, though its inception was really six years ago as I witnessed one of the sisters stand and say And this is my sister. Words that still resonate deep within me today. As I give this story to the world here this evening and on DVD, it is altogether fitting that I dedicate this film to the families and extended support staff that have given their love to their sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers and friends.

Tonight, Mary, Kathy, Nora and their families will be watching as I will. This Is My Sister would not have happened without them opening their hearts. I am grateful for their courage.

Was not able to find showing on WPT on May 25. Any chance it will be shown again in another venue, time, or on DVD? I'm an adult sib of an older brother w/ DD/ID. We've lived together for the last 27 years. I'm very interested in connecting w/ other adult sibs in Wisconsinwho want toshare our unique but also common experiences as sibs. It is a journey in and of itself... and so often goes untold.

Thank you for using your creative talents to help tell theirs!

Hi susan,

do you have anything going with connections for siblings? I have someone I know who may be interested in connecting? I am not going to speak for her but could let her know of your interest and see if she would be interested in joining SDS network.

I've been connecting w/ FVSSN (Fox Valley Sibling Support Network)in Appleton w/ Harriet Redman for the last year. She and I have had ongoing discussions ofthe need for ADULT siblings in Wisconsin to connect and network. I believe w/ the (National) Sibling Leadership Network (SLN) she is working w/ othersto try to address this need around our nation as well as our state and local communities. I would like to connect w/ any other interested sibs in Wisconsin who would like to work togetherto help develop and maintain a network of support for one another. It would indeed help if the SDS Network couldfacilitate this effort in some way.
