In the 1970s, just a few metres from the Sherman's doors, a revolution started. It was a revolution that rocked the world. It began when Alan, a young man born with Down's syndrome, crashed into the life of Cardiff University student Jim. Alan had lived as a resident in Ely Hospital since childhood; all he wanted was to live in a house and be in a band. Jim wanted to make a difference in the world, but didn't know how. Together with their friends, they embarked on an experiment that transformed how things were done, how people were treated and who got to tell you how to live. This was the beginning of the end of institutionalized care and the birth of Supported Living.T608799520All performances are either Captioned, Relaxed Sign Interpreted or Audio Described.
