He handled the troupe like a pro. With his camera in his hands he followed us from Portland to LA then Slab City and we ended up in Austin TX where most of the troupe lives now. I been put down most all of my life by rude comments and people pulling their kids away and treating me like I have something they could catch. I have many true stories that I hope are in the film. Can't the mainstream media chill the Freak out? Is Freak is the New dirty word of the 21 century? People should open their minds and don't look at people who are deformed as outcasts; they should welcome them with a hug and not 'eeew, can I catch that?' That is more hurtful than any name you can call someone. This film should be a lesson that disabled people have the same rights as anyone else, and not be put aside in movies and TV shows. When they use non disabled talent to play disabled. there is something wrong with that -- RAINMAN. peggo the leggo Mr Butchins was a pleasure to work with. He handled the troupe like a pro.

Can’t the mainstream media chill the Freak out?

Is Freak is the New dirty word of the 21 century?

People should open their minds and don’t look at people who are deformed as outcasts; they should welcome them with a hug and not ‘eeew, can I catch that?’ That is more hurtful than any name you can call someone.
