Released September 25th in the US.
Filmed in Texas, Mexico, Utah, California, Washington, Spain, North Carolina, and England.
The story: Elizabeth "Lizzie" Velasquez is a 25-year-old woman, living with an undiagnosed syndrome, which makes her unable to gain weight and causes her appearance to be distorted.
She is also visually impaired.
Growing up, Lizzie never actually realized she was different.
It was the other children that shed light on her differences.
Lizzie went through more surgeries than she can count but always continued to be a joy to her friends and family.
While Lizzie was attending high school and just living her teenage life, happy with friends and family, she came across something very disturbing.
A YouTube video of herself, titled 'The Ugliest Woman in the World'.
This of course devasted her but after some time and thought on the matter, Lizzie rose above that nonsense.
She went on to become a positive motivator for others and a serious advocate for those who have experienced bullying.
