      abstract = {At the beginning of To Be or Not To Be, two mothers wonder  if there is a place in the world for their two sons. Isaac  Larsen and Willie Smith have Down syndrome. Eventually the  two are admitted to a "regular" elementary school program  and the film then follows Isaac and Willie through their  last year before sixth grade graduation. There are big  questions to be answered. Can the two find a way to  participate intellectually with their "normal" peers and  will the other children accept them as part of the class?  Or will the addition of these two add a crushing burden  onto teachers who already have a full slate and take  valuable time from other students? The film goes into the  classroom to find answers, then follows all the sixth  graders as they mount an ambitious production of  Shakespeare s "Hamlet", in which both boys have roles.  During the final performances of the play a crisis arises  and its resolution provides unexpected answers to many of  the questions surrounding the boys inclusion. In the end,  this is a story of compassion and expanding horizons for  everyone involved.},
