Raising Heights with Zach & Tori

The Controversy with Dwarves in Hollywood


Listen Later

Instead of giving seven people with dwarfism the chance to play in the new Disney feature film Snow White, they settled with one — replacing six of the classic characters with CGI and animation. 

While opinions are all over the place on this one, we have some big thoughts — this is Raising Heights with Zach and Tori, and in this episode, we dive into everything Hollywood has wrong, how the film industry could bring light to dwarfism to empower people in the community and how other movies and shows are normalizing dwarfism the right way. 

We chat about:
🎬 Why the new Snow White movie shouldn’t happen (we’re boycotting)
🎬 The importance of normalizing dwarfism in film
🎬 Shows that do a great job bringing a realistic light to dwarfism
🎬 The full power of giving people with dwarfism on-screen roles
