Andre the Anti-Giant is the remarkable journey of a 3-foot-something actor, comedian, and disability advocate Andre H. Arruda. Though born with a rare genetic condition called Morquio Syndrome, Andre hasn’t let it – or misguided ableist preconceptions – prevent him from becoming a regular at Canadian comedy clubs. When a new medical complication threatens to leave him paralyzed, Andre must summon that defiant spirit yet again in order to retake the stage.
