BBC Three - Love Me, Love My Face

Film about a man with a genetic condition which affected how his facial bones developed.

Documentary about Jono Lancaster, who was born with the rare genetic condition Treacher Collins Syndrome, which affected the way his facial bones developed while in the womb.

Jono Lancaster was born with a rare genetic condition, Treacher Collins Syndrome, which affected the way his facial bones developed while he was in his mother's womb. The condition has affected his hearing and the way he looks - he has no cheekbones, which means his eyes droop downwards - but this hasn't stopped him finding love with his beautiful girlfriend, Laura Richards.

Now 25, he was given up for adoption by his birth family just 36 hours after he was born. Treacher Collins makes Jono stand out, but what really sets him apart is his attitude to life - he's on a mission to find his parents and show them and the rest of the world that he's done really well for himself and he's happy just the way he is.
