The Man Who Can
At the beginning of the film, eleven-year-old Malik is jumping around and dancing with his cousins and sister. Malik, who has Down Syndrome, introduces everyone including himself in voice-over. Then he proceeds to tell us, “Daddy can’t come to Holland anymore. We’re going to Senegal.” It’s clear that Malik will have to find his way in Senegal. Everything is new and different, there’s no one to play with, and everything he learned back in Holland seems different here. Losing power in Senegal can’t be resolved by screwing in a new fuse, as the clever boy suggests. One night, when his father tells him a story about an African king, Malik rediscovers his self-confidence: in the end, he is the man who can do anything.
From the archive
Winner of 4th Place in the "Best Dance Category" of the 2006 Blizzard/Xfire Machinima competition. Provided by Xfire. "Ever wanted to see a human male model doing flips, breakdance or limbo? Only one out there who can: The man who can! I made this movie for the Xfire contest and got 4th in the dance category. The Animations were a lot of work and I wish i've had a little more time to rework the lighting and stuff a little bit, but overall I'm quite satisfied with it. Watch out for the next Xfire contest!!" -- Michler, Wardraftmovies site, http://www.warcraftmovies.com/movieview.php?id=16661
