Fancy getting involved and sharing your story for a new TV documentary?
Nine Lives Media have been commissioned by Channel 5 to make a documentary celebrating the day-to-day lives of a range of inspirational people with restricted growth, who are achieving remarkable things in their working or personal lives.
Each episode will have four contributors and it will film them pursuing their hopes and dreams, chronicling their working life across a range of professions, whilst providing viewers with an insight into their medical diagnosis and their personal lives.

As well as entrepreneurial stories the programme also aims to cover other key milestones, such as:
- Having a life-changing operation
- Having a baby with Restricted Growth
- Starting high school
- Long-term marriage

Whilst not averse to hearing success stories I would like to know why miserable failures of the system are hardly ever on TV.

hmmmmmm I do loathe these programs. Seeking out inspirational people..... I dont have restricted growth but if I did (or say they were looking for wheelchair users which I am) my response would be I'M NOT FRICKING INSPIRATIONAL!!!! I AM NORMAL!!!!!0

Interestingly most health service documentaries show only the type of problems healthy people expect to see. Only 2 show a fair roundup and those are "Inside the ambulance" and "The force: Essex". I assume that "The force" programs are equally true for all areas they are made for. They often show the time wasters and the multitude of ambulance call outs that could be easily dealt with by people making an effort themselves and using their GP, walk-in-centres and their own transport to A&E. People are very selfish and expect the system to cover their laziness.
Other such shows cherry pick serious problems only and somehow never show crowded A&E's which very often have ambulance crews wasting hours to book a patient into A&E because A&E is full of alcohol related incidents.
