The Pageant Celebrating Girls with Disabilities

The Miss Arc Broward pageant, a competition for children and teens with special needs, isn't what you'd expect from a typical beauty pageant. These young women get the chance to perform onstage for hundreds of audience members, fighting any stereotypes that people might have about disabilities. Broadly follows Josie and Hannah Crank, teen sisters from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as they vie for the crown.
