The Girl with Eight Limbs

About

For a few weeks in 2007 she was the most famous little girl in the world. Lakshmi Tatma was the girl with eight limbs, born with one of the world's rarest physical abnormalities.

Joined at the pelvis to her half-formed twin, she had four arms and four legs. In her remote Indian village she was revered as a living god.

This film followed Lakshmi and her family on their epic journey from village to ground-breaking operation.
