One man inspires a better view of differently abled people in this SXSW documentary.
“If life was easy, it wouldn’t be worth living.” That slight twist on typical life-affirming idioms encapsulates the ethos of Memphis, an early 20-something man from Austin and the subject of South by Southwest documentary,For Memphis, living entails the uniquely difficult tribulations of cerebral palsy – a formal diagnosis mentioned exactly once in the 93-minute runtime. Perhaps more relevant, the film follows one young adult male just trying to carve his space in this world.
Memphis has a small social circle: his parents, his best friend Seneca, and a fellow film extra buddy who speaks truth with love and respect. Seneca, a high school senior with operatic aspirations, sweetly says of her dear friend, “He’s going somewhere.” Like most parents worth their salt, Eduardo and Catherine just want him to be safe and secure; Memphis, like most young adults, wants to take risks, believe in his dreams, and push boundaries.
