Being Different

Running 1h 40m and made in Canada, Being Different (1981) is a Documentary film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Christopher Plummer and Billy Barty; Harry Rasky directs. 4 votes put it at 6.8/10. 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.
