The Elephant Man

The true and riveting story of John Merrick, a Victorian Englishman doomed by his grotesquely deformed body to life as a sideshow freak until he is befriended by a famous young surgeon. Under the care of Dr. Frederick Treves, who educates Merrick and introduces him to London society, the so-called “Elephant Man” changes from a sensational object of pity to the urbane and clever darling of the rich and famous. But can Merrick’s dream to be accepted as a man like any other come true?
