FRAMEWORK Productions

Marriage is often a conventional step forward in the lives of adults, but Travis and Stephanie's union is particularly exceptional. Both born with Down syndrome, they are now navigating a unique set of obstacles in their married life and continue to prove that love transcends all barriers. 

 

Meeting in their teens, this couple has formed a strong partnership that operates in its own distinctive way. Having Down syndrome plays a factor in determining this couple’s living arrangements, their possibility of having children and their future.

 

The primary objective of this short documentary is to explore the authentic, intimate day-to-day life of a couple that may not look like everyone from the outside but express love just like everyone else. This documentary explores why, despite the odds, Travis and Stephanie were able to find love and why legally expressing it is so important. It shares the thoughts and feelings of the couple’s family members, while establishing an honest look at what it means to have Travis and Stephanie in your life.

 

Through their story, this documentary examines how love is really at the core of all relationships, no matter how they may appear.
