DWARF STORY: LIFE WITHOUT LITTLE PEOPLE ANNOUNCED FOR ITV

Join three extraordinary young people as they reveal how their lives have been affected by a ‘miracle’ drug called vosoritide which provided hope for an end to people with achondroplasia, the medical condition commonly known as dwarfism.



Vosoritide came on the market seven years ago - families were told it could make their children taller, as well as treating other medical complications associated with the condition, and offered the hope of a more ‘normal life’... but has it worked?



In this documentary, we join three young people from around the world (from America, Britain, and Australia) – and the clinical geneticist who has led the development and application of the drug – as they reveal how their lives have been affected by the treatment.


At the intersection of parental choice, personal identity and social stigma, their experiences give voice to a vital and urgent question. As scientific advances redefine what’s possible, is dwarfism - a condition that affects one in every 25,000 people - and disability in general in turn either a problem to be cured or an important part of a person’s identity?



Transmission details will be announced in due course.
