This film in the series about the world’s most extreme human bodies explores the extraordinary life of Edward Hernandez, who at the age of 24 is just 27 inches tall. Because of his tiny size, at home in one of the poorest neighbourhoods of Bogota in Colombia, Edward is used to unwanted attention from strangers, but last year his life changed dramatically when he was officially declared the shortest man in the world.   The media frenzy was immediate. How would Edward cope with overnight fame, and with so many contenders for this iconic record, how long could he keep hold of his title? As Marco Frigatti, of Guinness World Records explains, 'We knew that the reign of Edward, as the shortest man, could be very short'. Before his record, Edward scarcely left the house. Now he was invited to the Columbian President's palace and became a hit on the Latin American chat show circuit. But he was about to learn the downside of celebrity.
