Episode overview
Turning 21, Samuel wants his independence. Yet every rite of passage is fraught with challenges and social barriers. Seizures and uncontrollable movements. Inaccessible housing. Degrading ableist encounters. "No one tells you how to be an adult," he says, "let alone an adult with a disability." Can a community of disability activists help him follow his dreams?
