Little People - Portugal

Despite a shocking level of ignorance about the condition, there are over 1000 people with Dwarfism in Portugal. This film grants us a unique insight into the life of constant discrimination they face.

From Theresa's pride in who she is; "I might be small but I see the world as if I was tall" - to Sandra's tragic tale of undergoing several operations to alter her height, we are reminded of what a human being should really be judged on. "Size isn't important. The heart is important, the mind, emotions and understanding".

hmmm I don't mean to disrespect the translator but I am not liking the translation. Some interesting informations was lost on the way...

Very moving and thoughtful. I took from this that if you have the opportunity to know someone with good character (seems rare these days), don't let size be a factor in your friend selection throughout your lifetime. Thanks for uploading.

Lovely film. The story about the little girl getting all the surgeries was so heartbreaking.

@PHDdARkNeSs What I think is that, yes, these types of documentaries DO deserve more viewership, but because they are geared towards a different audience of course the views are not as massive. Family guy and Britain got talent is for a lazy attitude type of people.

@kazakhstanmkj are you agreeing or not?too many big words mate and the capital people seems rhetorical

[kazakhstanmkj]

@PHDdARkNeSs Those shows capture a certain audience and therefore produce more views. This is an independent media outlet producing content for a selective viewing: PEOPLE with a liberal attitude and strong sense of open mindedness

[kazakhstanmkj]

@spitoncat I agree. But also I want to say... also in the selection of your friends: be careful you want to be nice to everyone but you will never know if they are murderers.

@fangwenya I am trying to become a translator and interpreter myself. I think it is important to articulate the correct information. Include as much what needs to be said. I mean there are always errors in between.

@kushkid50 1000 people? what an ignorant!

[PHDdARkNeSs]
