    Nobody’s Perfect by Niko von Glasow (2009, 84 min.). This documentary follows the director as he looks for 11 people—who, like him, were born disabled due to the disastrous side effects of Thalidomide, a prescription medication given to pregnant women in the late 1950s to relieve symptoms of morning sickness—to pose nude for a book of photographs. Filmed with a darkly humorous touch and no deference to political correctness, the fascinating story follows the lives of the 12 extraordinary participants learning to live with their disabilities with an impressive level of “normality.”
