The Elephant Man (1980)

The story of John Merric, a man born disfigured, condemned to a miserable life facing prejudice, mistreated by others. However, the possibility of a better future presents itself when he strikes up a new friendship. An extraordinary film about acceptance in society and what it means to be human, a touching true story about how love and empathy may transcend ignorant tendencies that only value appearances but not the soul.
