Exclusive: Clip From RACHEL IS Captures A Delicate Challenge

Set to premiere tomorrow (Tuesday, May 6) on PBS -- on World Channel's "America ReFramed" -- Charlotte Glynn's feature directorial debut Rachel is captures a delicate challenge, as suggested by an exclusive clip that we're pleased to share.

Glynn's only sibling, her younger sister Rachel, is developmentally disabled. Charlotte moved home in order to document Rachel's last year in school, and also to track her transition into an independent adult life. Here's a bit more from the official synopsis:

The resulting film, Rachel is, moves past the safety of political correctness and into the most intimate and honest moments in their family's life. Rachel is mysterious, funny, and difficult and wants what any person her age would want - to move out of her mother's house. Unfortunately, Rachel can't be left alone and the social services needed for her to live an "adult life" are unavailable, making her dream of independence seem impossible. Rachel is is a powerful film about family, disability, and the universal desire for independence. It is a revealing and honest portrait of the complicated love between a mother and daughter and the complex bond between two very different sisters.
