Thalidomide in the USA: Seeking a Life of Dignity and Independence

US thalidomide survivors are in the fight of their lives as they face increasing disability as they enter their 60s; due to their birth defects caused by the drug, thalidomide.

This documentary with first-ever seen footage, by and about United States thalidomide survivors, explores an apparent news story that has hovered under the radar of public awareness now for over 60 years.

For the audience that thinks thalidomide had never been available in the USA, this is a must-watch.

Directed by C. Jean Grover (USA)
