The Peanut Butter Falcon
2019 · TMDB 7.4
Directed by Tyler Nilson, Michael Schwartz
A down-on-his-luck crab fisherman embarks on a journey to get a young man with Down syndrome to a professional wrestling school in rural North Carolina and away from the retirement home where he’s lived for the past two and a half years.
Why it matters
A young man with Down syndrome escapes his care home to follow his dream of becoming a wrestler, hitching a ride on a small raft with a runaway fisherman. A modern-day Huck Finn tale of friendship and freedom.
