Run time: 40 min. | U S A
When they met 37 years ago, Diana and Kathy faced early death or a restricted life in a nursing home. Instead, they slipped out of the system, became advocates for all people with disabilities, and began a grand experiment in living meaningful, independent lives. Body & Soul is an exploration of the remarkable bond between a woman with cerebral palsy and a woman with down syndrome.

The final piece of the program was the longest and the most effective. Following the 37 year relationship between Diana, a woman with severe cerebral palsy and Kathy, a woman with down syndrome and also Diana's caretaker. Their lives together serve as examples of activism for independent living. They face Medicare denial of home health care, as they actually leave their home to speak against institutionalizing people with disabilities. The intensity of the relationship, particularly as it falls on Diana, is also documented. It is an exceptional piece. http://jaycbird.blogspot.com
