Freak watchers take note, as exploitation-like as this may seem, it does have its sensitivity as well.
We head to Florida where a local carnival still uses sideshows to thrill the locals yokels. Siamese twins, midgets, (sorry, "little people") fat folks, rubber men, and an elephant man. That's him on the cover of the box.
It looks like half his face had been inflated with a bike pump. I don't mean to be rude, but that's what it resembled.
It shows how normal these folks are. They have the same set of hassles as the rest of us. With added stigma.
Christopher Plummer does a decent job of narration. And despite the claims, this will only sicken those with Nazi tendencies.
Yeah, it's worth it. See these people. I mean SEE these people.
