Director Statement

I want to raise awareness about achondroplasia known as dwarfism among people. Disabled people not only challenge society's pressure but also challenge themselves. This is an inspiring true story to overcome difficulties caused by physical barriers. Umut Kosemen's struggle against the physical and mental difficulties of Achondroplasia.
