Life Itself ushers us into a world of dreams and fears, frustrations and inspirations, recognizing that life and art often share similar difficulties of description. A portrait of three artists at Creativity Explored, an art center in San Francisco for adults with developmental disabilities, the film does not insist upon a single frame of reference or presume to draw conclusions in advance about its subjects. Life Itself follows the rhythms of emotions and imaginations, and illustrates how the work these artists create not only reflects their struggles, but also provides a vital means to come to terms with them.
