DOCS: The Girl With 8 Limbs

Posted by Anup Baral July 13, 2015 :
Lakshmi Tatma was born with four arms and four legs. In the remote Indian village where she lives people believe she’s a living God. But doctors say that she carries a parasitic conjoined twin – a rare anomaly that could soon kill her. Her parents must decide whether to accept surgery to remove her extra limbs – or to leave her like a Goddess. This film follows the family from their village to Bangalore, giving behind the scenes access to her operation – and the media firestorm which turns Lakshmi into the most famous two year-old in the world.
