Synopsis
In "Big Enough," filmmaker Jan Krawitz catches up with short-statured folks she first profiled when they were youngsters in the 1982 PBS documentary "Little People." Between flashbacks to the earlier film, they describe their challenges ("people don't let me forget that I'm little," says Karla Lizzo) and successes---they all married and are economically comfortable. More important, they're comfortable with who they are. "This is the way life is," says Len Sawisch.
