COSTA RICA'S LEADING ENGLISH LANGUAGE NEWSPAPER held a special screening of the 2018 hit film in an effort to promote social inclusion for people with disabilities The event was organized by Plura (a social enterprise) and Fundameco (an NGO) in partnership and received a significant turnout from the disabled community briefly touched upon her motivation for the screening explaining that “there are so few opportunities for fun for people with Down syndrome It seemed like a really good idea to enjoy this film with its incredible message about inclusion.” allowing deaf viewers to equally enjoy the story as deaf signers often communicate sound effects something which subtitles cannot always convey It’s also easier for deaf people or those hard of hearing to grasp who is speaking at a particular time as signers often take on the mannerisms of the characters “Somos Campeones” was inspired by the story of Aderes de Burjassot which won 12 championships between the years of 1999 and 2014 The film centers on Javier Gutiérrez’s Marco Montes as he is forced to carry out three months of community service following a drunk-driving accident a basketball team featuring people with a variety of disabilities all the while balancing his personal issues with girlfriend Sonia What follows is a touching comedy-drama about acceptance and teamwork I was surprised by the number of jokes that appeared to be at the expense of the disabled One particularly uncomfortable scene in which José de Luna’s character is made the butt of the joke due to issues with body odor springs to mind But the laughter that erupted from the audience which mainly consisted of people with disabilities and their families seemed to suggest that this was deemed tongue-in-cheek rather than offensive A description of the film’s ending follows The film’s ending features an appropriately uplifting message frankly overdone – a victory for Los Amigos but Los Amigos erupt into huge celebration with the other team thereby adding a new layer to the title of the film — the emphasis on somos (we are) which reinforces the message of the film and the title A notable aspect of the film was Marco’s redemption While he begins the film as self-centered and patronizing he later becomes a father figure to his team of “champions.” The change he undergoes is expressed through his interaction with Jesús Vidal’s character It is a moving moment which invoked rounds of applause and laughter from the audience The film manages to portray characters with disabilities in a realistic way a Costa Rican award-winning cyclist and guest of honor at the screening There’s a tendency for the stories we tell concerning disabilities to be patronizing and winning gold at the World Championships for Athletes with Down Syndrome can learn from athletes with mental handicaps This story was made possible thanks to The Tico Times 5 % Club If only 5 percent our readers donated at least $2 a month we’d have our operating costs covered
