"Ellie Goldstein"

Upside Down.

Arguably the most uplifting contributor to the recent 'Anthem' commercial for Adidas was twenty-year-old model Ellie Goldstein. Her spirited performance looks remarkable to an ablest-centric audience because she was born with Down syndrome. Keen readers of these reviews may recall that our only complaint about the first film in this campaign concerned its brevity... we wanted more.

Well, guess what! For once, we got what we wanted... this film is one of seven separate pieces focusing on each of those who appear in 'Anthem'.

They are all excellent films and we'll be reviewing each in due course, but we wanted to draw attention to this one first because it's such an exhilarating piece of positive representation.

Perhaps it would be really cool of us to not even mention Ellie's chromosomic differentness, but that would be disingenuous because the reason this is so joyous is her willingness to eagerly grab a platform and introduce herself to the world.

For the second time in quick succession, DAVID finds himself in awe of director Natalie Rae who has delivered another film which delivers an immensely important message transcending any advertising purpose. What a fantastic roll she is on.
