Brett Nielsen is a musician, composer, a father and he also happens to have been Australia's poster child for Thalidomide-- the drug taken by pregnant women in the 1950s and 60s that caused thousands of children around the world to be born with limb deformities.

Brett has no arms and in 1965, when he was only four years old, British director Roger Graef made a film about him. Five decades on, Graef has now made a new film about Brett, called 'A Life with no Arms' which will air on the 麻豆社 this week. Brett and Roger came into the studio to speak to Newsday.
