In this inspiring program from England, a small group of young adults with disabilities show what they have achieved through the activism of a social movement and the support of their peers. Each of the participants has difficulty learning or communicating, and each is determined to live a productive and independent life. We see how they challenge societal attitudes that focus on their difficulties rather than their potential, how the support group helps members navigate the challenges of daily life, and how these young people are taking charge of their lives.
