A regional committee meeting for the north west is seen. Only two delegates have cerebral palsy, the rest are mostly parents of people with cerebral palsy. Over lunch, one of the delegates who has cerebral palsy has a debate with two able-bodied women about the national consumer group and involving people with cerebral palsy more in the workings of the Society. Nabil Shaban, a member of a theatre company, says that most films and television programmes about disabled people are 'slush', written by able-bodied people, and that in order to change this, disabled people must carry out 'shock tactics', producing their own plays and films.

He also says that the most important thing for him is independence. A centre for independent living in Milton Keynes is shown.
