A documentary about two friends with intellectual disabilities -Down Syndrome and cerebral palsy- that, despite great odds, have lived independently together for 37 years. The documentary will follow the daily lives of these friends currently living in Springfield to illustrate the normalcy and independence that they have achieved and to correct misconceptions about the capacities of people with this type of disabilities. The production will propel a multi-year educational campaign and will be used as an outreach tool.
