The short film it works released in 1998 documented four handicapped children as they went about their everyday work routines. 20 years later, these children have grown into wonderful 30-year-old men and women who now stand in the prime of their lives. This film finds a personal and filmic intimacy much like its precursor, while questioning how socially normative concepts determine who is or is not considered handicapped nowadays.
