Indie Lens Pop-Up Series: The Tallest Dwarf

A filmmaker seeks belonging in the little people community and explores dwarfism within her family.

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