Being Different
Being Different
A Documentary film released in 1981, Being Different runs 1h 40m and comes from Canada. Soap2Day lists it with Harry Rasky directing and Christopher Plummer and Billy Barty in the cast. It holds 6.8/10 from 4 votes. A tribute to the spirit and humanity of people who are physically different from the average: very tall and very large men and women, a bearded woman and her long-time husband, Siamese twins joined at the midsection, and several little people including actor Billy Barty. We meet some at Gibsonton, Florida, where carnival folk winter. They talk about their lives and accomplishments. The camera also goes on the road to visit a grandfather with a distinctive face, a legless mechanic from Kentucky on a second honeymoon in LA, a marathon runner and motivational speaker who has no feet, a karate student with partial limbs, and an armless, down-to-earth mom in Texas.
