In ‘Down the Road’ we see the beautiful unfolding of a unique journey taken by Dieter Coppens and his 6 fellow travellers with Down Syndrome. This is a golden opportunity for the travel companions to venture beyond the familiar and experience what it’s like to be more independent, make new friends and perhaps even find love. As they embrace the world, we get to see just how much they have to offer, making ‘Down the Road’ quite the eye – and heart – opening experience for everyone.   

With an average market share of 53% viewers were glued to their screens as they watched the most recent series on Eén. The show was also a hit on Ketnet and it became hugely popular in the Netherlands as well. Critically acclaimed winner of a prestigious Rose d’Or and with local version produced in the Netherlands, Romania and Poland, ‘Down The Road’ is well on its way to touching the hearts of a broad international audience.
