One of my favorite documentaries is premiering on HBO! Monica and David follows the two title characters, who both have Downs Syndrome, as they start their life as a young married couple. The film, which was made by Monica's cousin Alexandra Codina, is an intimate look at two people with a disability who nonetheless move into adulthood with a fierce sense of love and independence. I especially liked the emphasis on the importance of their families support, even if at times it bordered on smothering.

I saw Monica and David at Tribeca where it won the award for best documentary film - an honor that was much deserved.

The film premiers at 8 p.m. on HBO tonight and will be rerun in the coming days.
