This is an extraordinary Channel 4 documentary featuring 2 cranio facial surgeons, Martin Kelly and Norman Waterhouse, who volunteer their free time, expert knowledge and skills to help children with severe disfigurements. These children come from very poor countries where there is no access to treatments and their lives are wrecked by the deformities, one boy was stoned by people in the village.
TV viewers caught a glimpse of the latest technology and surgical techniques, but the bravery of the children who have suffered so much from their disfigurements and the compassion and devotion of the surgeons have touched so many viewers and brought tears to their eyes. Their work have transformed these children's lives giving them hope that has been lost in the cruel world.
For more details about the work of the charity at "Facing the World" set up by the surgeons.
