Welcome to episode two of Be Reel, where Harry and Aj take you through the heartwarming story that is Peanut Butter Falcon, starring Shia Lebouf and Zack Gottsagen.

Zak (played by Gottsagen) is a rare and accurate portrayal when it comes to characters living with a disability – and that’s because Gottsagen has down syndrome. The guys talk about societal pressures that impede exercise participation for persons living with down syndrome, the physiological disadvantages that come with DS, our at-work experiences and plenty more!
