Synopsis
On Beauty follows the story of Rick Guidotti. Guidotti left a 15-year career in fashion when he became frustrated with restrictive standards of beauty. He formed the non-profit Positive Exposure, which uses photographs and video to change public perceptions of people with genetic, physical, behavioral and intellectual differences. [4] On Beauty follows Rick with two of his subjects: Sarah, who was bullied for her Sturge-Weber birthmark, and Janey, a girl with albinism living in East Africa. [5]
