The Tallest Dwarf

As filmmaker Julie Wyman unpacks the rumors of “partial dwarfism” in her family, she discovers that she has hypochondroplasia dwarfism and that hers is the last of a body type she has inherited. She joins forces with a group of dwarf artists to confront the legacy of being fetishized and put on display. Together, they embody their full humanity as they dance, laugh, and create films that reclaim a complicated history and speak back to the echoes of eugenics in the newly emerging pharmaceutical interventions that make little people taller. What does it mean to belong in a world that wants to change who you are?
