Logo for Body Image - Series 3 - Help! I Smell of Fish

Documentary about three people who have Fish Odour Syndrome – an incurable condition that causes sufferers to smell of anything from rotting fish to stale sweat to faeces. The film looks at how sufferers manage to overcome the prejudice they feel in our increasingly sanitized country, and focuses on eight-year-old Thomas Barber, 32-year-old Rachel Thomas and 43-year-old Carol Sexton as they seek treatment and acceptance.
