"Scandalizing the world with the never-seen-before display of sideshow performers with disabilities, FREAKS challenges audience to look straight at those unfortunate, malformed human beings, and hopefully our involuntary uneasiness or even disgust to their physiognomical otherness can be desensitized when we look at them longer (for one thing, baby-faced adult dwarves are lodestone to observe because of their contradictions in display) and get to know their characters better, empathizing with their full emotional gamut. It is intrinsic that FREAKS is ordained to be niggled for exploitation, but there is no other right way to introduce those "freaks" to the world audience without simply setting them up in the epicenter, showing them as they are without concession. If you feel revolted by that, you shall go under some introspection of your own prejudice."
