In today's Politically Correct climate it might be shocking to see that people, unlike you or me, are so much like you and me. People that yesterday would be forced to stay at home and do nothing but collect a government check, where celebrities and made decent livings. This is an excellent documentary on the amazing world of the American Sideshow.

I thought it was an interesting documentary, especially the interview with former performers. My only complaint that some things were way too short, I would have loved to see some more things about "Schlizie", they only mentioned "her" about a minute, which was kind of dissapointing.

A documentary that brings insight on the lives in the sideshow and the era that once existed. Very, very interesting and a chapter in American culture . . .
With interviews done of many of the original circus celebrities, the viewer get's a chance to see what life was like for people in that business. were sideshow good/bad? I don't know? That's up to you to decide. However, if you're too shy to run off with the circus and you're curious to what it would be like then watch this DVD.
Plus Jason Alexander is the narrator-if you're into Seinfield???

I bought this DVD on a whim and I was pleasantly surprised. The documentary provides an in-depth look into the dying world of the sideshow. The best parts for me were the interviews with former sideshow performers while the worst parts were the cheesy sideshow re-enactments and transitions from topic to topic.
I was left wishing for more old footage of sideshows, but the footage they did show was amazing.
The documentary treats the performers with respect and compassion while not omitting the unusual lives they had.
The sequence of the "monkey woman" and her romance with the "lizard man" was surprisingly moving and should bring many people to tears.
If anything, this documentary brought a new awareness to me regarding people born with unusual physical deformities.
