I really didn't know what to expect when I started watching this. I'm sure that there was a normal amount of gawk-factor involved. That passed very quickly as the psyches of the participants were laid bare.
What impressed me most were two distinct realities. First, I learned a good bit about the terrible effects of the Thalidomide drug, and also volumes about the effects of deformities on the people who suffer them.
Second, I got to see the "victims" learn from each other about the issues that they were saddled with and how that helped empower and draw them together.
I do hope that the firm which developed the drug will reach out to the victims and provide support for them.
