Description

This episode includes upsetting content regarding the profound mistreatment of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). While some progress has been made since Geraldo's original documentary was released in 1972, people with I/DD remain one of the largest unrecognized minority groups in the US and are still fighting to have the same rights as other citizens (like choice over where they live, what they do during the day, etc.).

While this topic is hard hitting, stories of courageous families fighting back will inspire hope and give our audience ideas on ways they can advocate in their own backyard. Thank you RocVox for helping us raise awareness with this valuable content. www.rocvox.com
