Share the highs and lows of life, love and loss on Tyneside through the lives of four young women.

A drama made in the style of TV's This Life following the lives of four young deaf-mute women living in Gateshead.

Inclusive, Introspective, Inspiring.

Brave voices from historically marginalised groups share inspiring and uplifting stories of hope.

In the late 20th Century, people with a physical or a sensory impairment faced daily battles against a society geared to the needs of the able-bodied mainstream. Here we see authentic stories of affected individuals and institutions creating imaginative solutions, paving the way for a socially-inclusive model of disability which would benefit generations to come.
