Ch4 Turtle Boy A BodyShock Special PDTV XviD AC3

in a tiny hamlet in colombia, six-year-old didier has struggled with a huge burden - a rare
condition called a congenital melanocytic nevus. it's a giant mole that grew so much it covered
40% of his body. it resembled a shell, and didier was nicknamed turtle boy.

there was a chance it could turn malignant. and didier's mother luz struggled with an
additional burden - guilt. in this superstitious society, there was a belief that didier's growth
was a result of being conceived during an eclipse, which meant luz and her family had to live
apart from the rest of the village.

luz longed to be free to have her son baptised, to take him to school and see him grow up like
any other boy. but there was no way she could raise the money for an operation, until a local
news crew broadcast a story on didier.

the procedure would be complicated and dangerous, and even if it was successful the recovery
process would involve a complicated series of skin grafts.

this extraordinary film traces didier's story: a story of cutting-edge medicine, a mother's love,
and a brave six-year-old's fight to be released from his burden.
