Ever made fun of a beauty pageant contestant? I know I have.
(Two words: Miss Utah.)
But here’s a beauty pageant that will have you cheering.
The ‘Miss You Can Do It’ pageant, a program for girls with special needs, is the focus of an HBO documentary currently on rotation and OnDemand.
The 37 contestants, all with learning or physical disabilities, are celebrated at this annual event founded by Abbey Curran, a former Miss Iowa and the first woman with a disability to ever compete in the Miss USA pageant.
The program follows eight of the young girls as they prepare for and compete in this event. I happened upon the show quite by accident, but I consider the show a must-see.
Everyone should feel that good and smile that much watching TV.
