The True Stories series continues with Richard Butchins' extraordinary film is a road trip with a difference. He follows the journey of a self-described travelling Freak Show through America, with 'exhibits' such as The Lobster Girl, The Half Woman, Dame Demure and The Elephant Man.
But what makes them stand out from the old carnival shows is that they perform by choice, flaunting their disabilities in a united front against the world, as they explore the nature of society's relationship with 'freaks'.
The film was scheduled to be shown in 2008 at a joint event with the London Disability Arts Forum and Bafta - until Bafta refused to screen it.
