Get Off <strong>You</strong>r Knees: The John Robinson Story<br />
Sun, 10/25 at 9pm on <strong>WGBH</strong> 44<br />
No Excuses<br />
He was born a congenital amputee. No<br />
hands. His arms stop at his elbow. No knees.<br />
His lower legs are attached to his hips.<br />
What could have been a life in the shadows<br />
became the story of a man who casts a<br />
giant shadow even though he’s 3'9".<br />
John Robinson has made his way as a<br />
successful broadcast salesperson who now<br />
holds a high-level management position,<br />
and has a wife and three children.<br />
Flower Power<br />
Flowers. Trees. Plants. We’ve always thought we controlled them. But<br />
what if, in fact, they have been shaping us? Using this provocative<br />
question as a starting point, The Botany<br />
of Desire takes viewers on an eye-opening<br />
exploration of the human relationship<br />
with the plant world—seen from the<br />
plant’s point of view. Based on Michael<br />
Pollan’s best-selling book of the same<br />
name and narrated by Frances<br />
McDormand.<br />

Kathy. When they met 37<br />
years ago, Diana, who has Down syndrome,<br />
and Kathy, who has cerebral<br />
palsy, seemed to have few choices: an<br />
early death or a restricted life in a<br />
nursing home. Instead, they became<br />
advocates for all people with disabilities<br />
and began a grand experiment in<br />
living meaningful, independent lives.<br />
