World's Smallest People (Extraordinary People Documentary)

A mixture of engaging stories with accessible popular science about the human body, this revealing insight into some of the world’s smallest people, including primordial dwarf He Ping Ping, the world’s shortest man who weighs the same as an average one year old, and Britain's shortest man Michael Henbury, whose young son towers above him. Explaining what effect their height has on their health and what challenges these extraordinary people face when it comes to finding work, love and happiness, the programme candidly reveals what life is like from their unique perspective, and their attempts to find happiness and acceptance in a world that often treats them as freaks.
