Hell on Wheels
Synopsis
The story, updated to the present day, of Dwight Core Jr. and his family. A home movie shot decades ago by his father portrays this boy with Down Syndrome; the love he shares with his four sisters, but also the heartache of an experience common to the era’s disabled – leaving home for an institution. In 2007, filmmaker Roger M. Richards brought the story of Dwight Core, Jr. to the present, documenting him as a grown man, and the continuing love and devotion of his sisters to their brother. The little boy is now a 48-year-old man who enjoys coloring and watching television in the living room of the Norfolk, Virginia home he shares with one of his sisters.
