I'll Find a Way
When nine-year-old Nadia is allowed to attend a regular school, she knows the kids will tease her but she'll "find a way to deal with it." Nadia has spina bifida, a congenital condition that has caused a lack of sensation from the knees down. She uses crutches in order to walk. Nadia, in her own candid way, makes it clear that she is not looking for sympathy. She can do many things that children do, only she has a different way of doing them. Oscar® winner!

Born with spina bifida, we now spend half an hour with the engaging nine year old Nadia DeFranco as she strives for an ordinary life.

She's even a bit of a performer as we see her go through the most basic of tasks: her physiotherapy, swimming, playing basketball and she shows us a clear determination that this cheeky chatterbox of a lass will not to be limited any more than is absolutely essential with her aspirations. Her physio is quite jarring to watch at times. She's independently mobile, but her walking seems to put her hips at right angles to her legs, making her staying upright and balanced quite a challenge! What this documentary does try to do is illustrate that her disability
