skin.

when you work in an industry that begins first and foremost with how you look, it's difficult to step back and absorb the big picture.  this video made my chest explode.

A tragic story of a former model's Katie Piper who was beaten, raped and then disfigured with sulfuric acid by a former boyfriend.

Katie Piper sets out on an extraordinary journey to use her personal experience to help rebuild the lives and confidence of people like her who are fighting for normality while living with a disfigurement

The series follows her over a year as, inspired on to a new phase of recovery, Katie sets up a charity to help others living with disfigurement. Meanwhile, she continues the grueling treatment still necessary two years after the attack and, despite setbacks, puts together the building blocks of her new life.

Katy has learnt to live with her scars, but insist she wouldn't have it any other way.

Katie finds people walking a variety of paths, some similar to her own, some very different, but all having to deal with a world that turns away from disfigurement. With candid humour, they ask each other the difficult questions no-one else can about how to get the best out of life when others can’t get past how they look.
