I Am Not a Freak

Kirby Dick film; Richard Frank narrator

released: 1987 Nov 19   duration: 0:42:15

TV Movie. Documentary about some people afflicted with congenital deformities of an extreme nature. Their ability to live with their aberrations while remaining socially involved and upbeat is truly inspirational. While their predecessors were often seen in so called "freak shows" that were part of various exhibitions from Coney Island to traveling circuses, these performers were actually the more fortunate ones in an era of little tolerance for those who were different from the accepted norm.

At 32:24, during a circus parade in Disneyland, a clown is seen, starting in the lower right corner of the screen, juggling 3 clubs for 8 seconds.

The entire documentary may be seen here.
