Another chance to see this special edition of Witness History from London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Our presenter, Nikki Fox, brings us stories of disability in recent history including the sports enthusiast who designed the prosthetic leg which has revolutionised parasports, allowing athletes to feel the freedom of speed and strength. We'll also hear about the very first Paralympic games in 1960 from the first British gold medal winner. Plus, one of the first competitors at the Special Olympics - a sporting event for those with intellectual disabilities inspired and supported by the Kennedy family. You'll also find out how students at the world's leading university for the deaf, shut-down campus in protest at moves to appoint a hearing president.
Finally, the terrifying but exhilarating adventures in the three-wheel cars designed for disabled people in post-war Britain.
