EXTRAORDINARY PEOPLE - 7 YEAR OLD SURGEON
documentary
Filmed as a QED documentary by the BBC, John's Not Mad made a huge impact on the nation and brought the relatively unknown condition of Tourette Syndrome into the public domain. The documentary follows John Davidson, a 15 year old schoolboy from Galashiels who suffers from the most severe form of this complex neurological disorder. This fascinating and inspiring film explores the way in which John, his family and the local community deal with his extreme condition.
The Boy Whose Skin Fell Off
This is a documentary about a boy (Ben Underwood) who has taught himself to use echo location to navigate around the world. Ben Underwood is blind, but has managed to do some truly extraordinary feats. I've cut this documentary up into 5 parts, and all can be found in my profile, or below. [Part 1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLziFM... (10:51) [Part 2] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1QaCe... (10:37) [Part 3] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikpNZO...

Discovery Channel documentary film by Richard Dawkins
Accidental Inventions examines the stories behind 10 extraordinary inventions, using historical photographs, 3D graphics, and interviews with professors and professionals from the FBI to the U.S. Air Force. See how a cocklebur became Velcro, or how a mysterious laboratory accident created Teflon. Did you know Cellophane was a failed tablecloth? Or that stainless steel was literally discovered in a scientist's junk pile?
