We love you, Owen!
On 2nd June 2011, a close friend of “The Specials” died. Owen was a truly inspiring guy and we all loved spending time with him. As a special tribute we have put together this film that we hope captures his wonderful attitude to life.
Thank you Claire & Étienne
We made friends with Claire & Étienne who have a young son Benoît with Down Syndrome. They translated Season 1 into French for us and here is our film to say ‘Thank you!’.
