I Am Alive

Teresa Pocock is alive! And that's pretty amazing because just a few years ago, her life and future was written off. As a middle-aged woman with Down syndrome, she was forced into a longterm care home for the old and dying. Fortunately she secured her freedom and asserted her rights to live in the community. Today, Teresa has been “reborn” in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. And the unexpected story of how she found her voice — and found herself as an artist and poet — is at the heart of her story.
