Compass: Apr 7

Compass this week features Part I of a 2 part series on people with Down syndrome striving for independence.

It features a former Logie winning actress who asks, ‘Is the TV & Film industry ready for actors with disabilities?’

Three people with Down syndrome take their first strides towards independence. Digby Webster is a talented artist who wants to live alone, his friend Tom Elenor fantasizes about stardom and Tracie Sammut is an award-winning actress who now wants to teach. In their struggle to balance dreams and reality, can they fly – or will they fall?

6pm Saturday on ABC.
