Duration: 28 minutes

Enter a world where anything is possible.

Sam has Down’s syndrome, and university graduate Imogen has turned her back on a conventional career. These two friends are determined to succeed both in and out of the wrestling ring, and Norfolk trainer and promoter Zak Knight is there to help them. The story of his sister Paige’s rise to fame was told in the Hollywood movie Fighting with my Family. Zak struggled with severe depression but found a new purpose, helping others fulfil their dreams. In Zak’s world, there’s no such thing as can’t.

In the final episode, last-minute nerves threaten to stop Imogen in her tracks. Marcus is pursuing romance, while Sam, who has Down’s syndrome, hopes to make his debut in a public wrestling match. Show less
