Synopsis
My body is extremely unusual, I’ve never seen another like mine. ‘Is There Anybody Out There?’ follows my search to track down others with the same rare disability. Above all, it’s about ableism, living in a world where you’re seen as less than human and what it takes to love yourself fiercely despite this.
