Loading Docs 2019 - Meet Munch Jr

I used to have this kind of fear that he wouldn't have any friends...and I feel it's a bit selfish to have that because he's happy.

– Nikau's Mum Donna talks about her son

I really like ties. I've got like, five ties.

– Nikau talks about his interests

Ever since I was a little kid I've been really interested in puppets. I wanna be like, a puppeteer...

– Nikau Cowley

The film is basically about the unconditional love I have for my son and his gift that is Asperger syndrome. I want to show the audience what Nikau sees rather than what we or the general public see when we make judgements on an autistic child’s behavior. I hope that by switching perspectives audiences will have a greater and more human understanding of autism.
