Synopsis:
Judith Scott was born with Down syndrome. She was deaf, and never learned to speak. She was also a talented artist. Judith was institutionalized until her sister Joyce reunited with her and enrolled her in an art class. Judith went on to become an artist of renown with her work displayed in museums and galleries around the world.
Told by Joyce Scott in collaboration with Brie Spangler and Melissa Sweet, Unbound shows us that we can soar beyond our perceived limitations and accomplish something extraordinary.
