The Butterfly Circus

The Butterfly Circus (2009) is a short drama you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Joshua Weigel. At the height of the Great Depression, a celebrated traveling circus works its way across a devastated America, bringing moments of wonder to broken crowds.

At a carnival sideshow, the troupe encounters Will, a young man born without limbs. The showman, played by Eduardo Verástegui, refuses to see him as a spectacle. Their encounter sets off something that no sideshow act ever could. Nick Vujicic, who was born without limbs himself, plays Will. Twenty minutes long, and it lands harder than most features.
