About the show:

Sheldon, Zoe, Ivan, Josh, and Riley are five Singaporeans with different types of disabilities. Sheldon has a debilitating disease that may take away his ability to walk. Zoe was in a car accident just before she turned 21. Ivan and Josh have hearing and vision impairments respectively, but that hasn’t stopped them from holding full-time jobs.

As these individuals navigate life’s challenges, they embark on journeys of self-awareness, ambitious goals and healing – while fighting for a more inclusive world.

Zoe, Ivan and Josh were awarded the Goh Chok Tong Enable Awards (Promise), an annual award given out by the Goh Chok Tong Enable Fund (GCTEF).

GCTEF is a community fund that aims to provide persons with disabilities the opportunities to actively contribute to society and lead socially integrated lives. The Fund is administered by SG Enable and supported by Mediacorp. To support persons with disabilities through the GCTEF, please visit GCTEnableFund.sg.
