In 1965, first time film-maker Roger Graef made One of Them is Brett, a documentary that followed the life of Brett Nielson, a four-year old boy born with no arms due to the drug Thalidomide.

Brett became the poster boy for the Thalidomide scandal shortly after his birth in 1959. Brett and Roger spoke to us about his life since that first film.
