The Butterfly Circus – view it and rethink disability and stereotypes
Set during the Great Depression, The Butterfly Circus encourages viewers to rethink disability, stereotypes and assumptions.
The greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph
When Mendez, a showman from the renowned Butterfly Circus discovers a limbless man being exploited at a carnival sideshow, the showman sees ability and courage rather than disability. He sees a magnificant man.
A multi award-winning short film, The Butterfly Circus will soon be made into a full-length, feature film.
