The real Thumbelina.

A documentary featuring Amelie who was born with Russell-Silver syndrome, a rare growth disorder. She has spinal problems which mean that she can't take the standard growth hormone drugs to help her growa little faster and her extremely low weight means that she is not strong enough to undergo spinal surgery. In desperation, her parents take her to Chicago to meet Dr Madeleine Harbison, an expert in the condition. Other people with the condition tell their stories, including 37-year-old Zillah who is only 4 foot 2 inches.
