ways than most people. reporter: the film follows jessica and her friends as they get ready for the big night. picking out dresses. do you like it, mom? i felt like a queen, like i was worth something. reporter: and then, there s the dancing. we had a guideline that everyone was able to ask whomever they wanted to, to dance, and that individual would say yes to at least one song. no one was going to be rejected, because it happens so much in other parts of their life. so when people watch, what do you want them to think? what do you want them to know? we want them to understand that we re more like you than we are different. they make the world a better place, and they add spices to your spice rack that you can t ever imagine knowing unless you know someone. i wish you had been looking at jessica s face when you said that. really? yeah, it s they re my favorite people in the whole world. they say what they mean and they mean what they say.
