Overview:

Extraordinary People

Five's acclaimed documentary strand exploring tales of human experience from across the globe. Sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes inspiring, each thought-provoking film tells the story of a person whose unusual condition, ability or power challenges scientific understanding.

Episode Summary:

The Twin Within the Twin

Ever since childhood, Sanjay had been self-conscious about his protruding belly. The little Bengali boy was teased for looking pregnant but he figured he was just unusually chubby. 36 years later, now a farmer, Sanjay arrived in hospital with a belly swollen to the extent that he truly did look like he was about to give birth.

This fascinating documentary examines two of the rarest complications of multiple pregnancies, fetus in fetu and twin-to-twin transfusion. In the first case, one twin envelopes the other, in the second, the equilibrium of blood flow between the babies is unbalanced and can result in their sudden death.
