Sometimes tough love is the way to go or maybe it is waking up from a sleep walking state. This video says it all and makes us think. Do you have the courage to watch it until the end and rethink and change. All it takes is thought, love and baby steps. We can change, we can grow and we can make a difference.

We’re the Superhumans is a television advert which was produced by Channel 4 to promote its broadcast of the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro.

The advert features people of various backgrounds and disabilities performing different activities and physical feats with joy and strength. It was set to a performance of the Sammy Davis Jr. song “Yes I Can” by a band composed of musicians with disabilities.

We’re the Superhumans received wide acclaim, and won the overall award in film at the 2017 Cannes Lions Festival. Over 140 people with disabilities from various countries were cast, including 39 Paralympic athletes.

The advert faced criticism for allegedly conveying unrealistic expectations of people with disabilities, but Channel 4 stated that it worked with disability organizations to ensure its portrayals were accurate.

A friend of me sent this to me and I know I had to share this again. We all need to be reminded that yes we all can.
