Diana has down syndrome and Kathy has cerebral palsy. They both work to break stereotypes about disability. The documentary, directed by Alice Elliot, shows Diana as a capable personal assistant to Kathy who has become non-verbal due to her illness. Diana and Kathy break the rules, escape the system, and model a grand experiment in independent living. The two are inspiring in their lobbying effort for equal rights for those disabilities. (40 minutes)
