Documentary following the lives of four extraordinary American kids, Danny, Hannah, Bradley and Bri. They are primordial dwarfs, the smallest and rarest type of the 200 types of dwarfism. So rare, there are only an estimated 100 in the world, of whom 40 live in America. Primordial dwarfs are characterised by tiny stature, high-pitched squeaky voices and a limited life expectancy. Rarely do they live beyond 30. Their syndrome is due to a recessive gene, and they are all born to average-height parents, who both, often unwittingly, carry this gene, which is so rare it has not yet been identified. Doctors openly admit they know very little about the syndrome, and primordials are often not diagnosed till they are five years old, by which time they have often been pumped full with growth hormone, which has no effect.
