When Canadian Jamie Ross told his father he was going on an artist’s residency, his dad revealed he'd been a ballet dancer at the same place. It was the last thing Jamie expected from the man he knew as a finance executive. But after years of a distant relationship, the surprise would get them jiving once more. Jamie and David made a film together about their journey called Dan Can Dance. In 2010, 25-year-old Dinesh Palipana was a medical student in Australia. One night, while he was driving back from visiting his parents, he got involved in a car crash and suffered a life-changing spinal cord injury. But he tells Jo Fidgen nothing would stop him from realising his dream of becoming an emergency doctor. This interview was first broadcast in 2019.
