Photo: MattyB raps for his sister
Little rapper, big wishes
Sarah has trisomy 21 and is experiencing many injustices. Her big brother MattyB raps for her in his song. He wants acceptance.
From a safe distance, little Sarah watches a group of girls. How would she like to play with them. Sarah takes her courage, goes to the girls. But all she gets are pejorative looks. The girls get up and leave. You do not want to have anything to do with Sarah because she is different - she has Down syndrome. Sadly, Sarah is left alone.
With this scene begins the video of the young rapper MattyB . An adaptation of "True Colors", which he dedicated to his sister Sarah. Like the girl in the video she was born with Trisomy 21. In the song, he encourages people not to treat and exclude others because of their appearance, gender, age or nationality. "Imagine what it would be like if the roles were reversed, " says MattyB.
The eleven-year-old raps about opportunities we miss when judging too quickly about others. And that is also clear in his video. After the little Sarah was excluded from the girls group, she goes home sadly. What she did not realize was that she was being followed by another girl. She saw how mean the others were to Sarah and can not understand. When she rings the doorbell and wants to play with Sarah she is overjoyed. Sarah gets colorful chalk and the two paint the floor in the forecourt.
Coincidentally, the girls group comes over. You see that Sarah and the girl are having fun and approaching slowly. When Sarah sees the girls, she happily invites them to paint with them - even though they were so mean to her before. All hostilities are forgotten. So MattyB wishes that in many more situations .
