Independent Lens “The Tallest Dwarf” • WXXI-TV + Streams Live on the PBS App

Television

Little People in a dance studio standing in a line

Follow filmmaker Julie Forrest Wyman as she searches for her place in the little people community and unpacks rumors of dwarfism in her own family.

Indie Lens Pop-Up: The Tallest Dwarf airs Monday, April 6 at 10 p.m. on WXXI-TV and streams live on the PBS and WXXI apps.

Through intimate stories, creative collaborations, and archival history, the film delves into identity and medicine, asking whether society should change people or the structures that limit them.

This film is presented as part of Move to IncludeTM, an award-winning national initiative to promote disability inclusion, representation, and accessibility in public media.
