SYNOPSIS
An exploration of the lives of dwarfs through centuries of representations in art and culture, revealing society's shifting attitudes towards people with dwarfism. Presented by Richard Butchins, a disabled filmmaker, artist and journalist, the film shows how people with dwarfism have been seen as royal pets, creatures from a separate race, figures of fun and "freaks", and it reveals how their lives have been uniquely intertwined with mythology in the popular imagination.
