Growing up is hard enough. But what is this like growing up with Down syndrome? And what effect does this have on your family? 'Bennie', inspired by the life story of Barry Atsma, is a heart-warming series that tells the honest story of a family life that has to do with Down syndrome.

In 'Rest and Joy', we follow Emma, a city woman, who after the unexpected loss of her husband Thomas discovers that he, after a years-long waiting list, has been granted a garden at the Rust & Joy community garden complex. Although she hates gardening, she decides to accept the garden anyway to fulfill Thomas's dream and not have to let him go for a while yet.
