Body & Soul: Diana & Kathy, a PBS award winning film, looks at an unusual, symbiotic relationship between two people some would call profoundly disabled. In the film, two of the country’s most remarkable advocates for people with disabilities, Diana Braun, who has Down Syndrome, and Kathy Conour, who has cerebral palsy, met three decades ago and vowed to fight to live independent lives. Told in an intimate, verite style, the film is a story of a compelling, creative friendship.
