Presents a moving photographic chronicle—a celebration—filled with more than one hundred dynamic images and thirty evocative stories of people with intellectual disabilities. It offers a collective portrait of individuals, who perhaps live down the street from us; people at whom we glance furtively on a bus, unsure how to behave toward them; girls and boys, men and women who by their 'different' behaviour and physical looks make us feel uncomfortable.
