"At its core, “Dwarf Story: Little People, Big Choice” is more than a documentary about a drug. It is a space for a meaningful, long-overdue conversation that recognizes the full humanity of little people and respects their diverse voices. It is not just a medical debate, but a deeper reckoning with identity, belonging, and the quiet ways love shapes the hardest decisions." - Documentary Drive - Full Review
