Human Spirit: World's Smallest Kids
(Monday 8 Feb, 10PM)
Very little is known about the smallest people in the world. Primordial Dwarfism is the rarest type of dwarfism that results in smaller body size in all stages of life beginning from before birth.
We follow our main character, Taylor, 13 (14 by the end of the film), at a time in her life when body image is becoming paramount and being “different” is her biggest nightmare. We join her life as she is dealing with all the challenges of becoming a teenager, as well as recovering from major spinal surgery.
We meet her friend, Hannah, 12, who refuses to come to terms with the spinal surgery she must soon face. We also meet Tyler White, a 4 year old from Canada, whose parents are in the early diagnosis stages of their son’s condition.

Those Were The Days (Thursdays, 9PM)
Those Were the Days aims to bring you back to those times when life was simple and helps you relive those memories. Each show is filled with nostalgia and charm of the old days. We will go back in time to look at some of these things and try to find out how they started and how they have evolved through the years. Each episode will be based upon a different theme and will be led by a presenter, who will introduce to us some of the things that were so popular back in those days. Each will portray a part of our history and culture that we will never forget. And each will allow our children or the next generation to understand our ways of life and our traditions, and how we grew up. No doubt some of these will bring a tear to your eye, but we are sure that they will also bring smiles.
