Diana Braun has Down Syndrome. Kathy Connor has cerebral palsy. They met in a group home and moved in together; Diana has been taking care of Kathy for nearly 40 years. During that time, they have been tireless activists fighting for the rights of the disabled. Join them in their daily struggles with financial challenges, the inhuman restrictions of the Medicare system, their health and relationship complications – and the rewards of their efforts.
