We Are Different

Hulya’s husband Dennis is a photographer, and together, they create photoshoots showing real beauty goes beyond physical shortcomings. Hulya has proven that if a person wants to live and be happy, they can, no matter what. Watch our film and learn about the fantastic stories of our heroes who had genetic disorders but managed to see past them and enjoy life.
