I AM THE ELEPHANT MAN: A BODYSHOCK SPECIAL
In a moving and thought-provoking film China’s ‘Elephant Man’, Huang Chuncai, tells his own extraordinary story as he undergoes surgery to remove tumours, weighing 20kg, that have caused him a lifetime of suffering and are now threatening his life. Huang movingly describes what it means to be trapped inside a body that he can’t control, and which is likely to kill him young; so afraid of being laughed at that he has lived as a virtual recluse, never leaving his remote village. The film also explores the effect the condition has had on his family.
