Special People (1984)

When all the world saw only their limitations... all she could see were possibilities

Brooke Adams is the real-life Diane Dupuy, the Canadian woman whose vision and drive molded a group of developmentally-challenged young adults into the Famous People Players, a professional puppet troupe that has become world-renowned, having performed Radio City Music Hall and Las Vegas (Liberace's opening act in 1975) to the People's Republic of China.
