Born This Way

Born This Way is a six-episode documentary on A&E about 7 young adults with Down syndrome living in California.

The series follows Megan, an entrepreneur who is pursuing her dream to be a film producer, Sean, a golfer and self-described “ladies man” who is looking at the possibility of living on his own, Elena, who is energetic, dramatic, and struggles with accepting her disability, and 4 of their friends. The show also provides interviews with the parents of the cast as they share their joys and struggles of raising their kids.
