'World's ugliest woman' wants to make anti-bullying film

In December 2013, she inspired millions with her TED Talk online. Now Lizzie Velasquez, once called" the world's ugliest woman", hopes to reach an even wider audience through an anti-bullying documentary about her story.

"I know what it is to be bullied and what it is to be bullied online, and I want to be the protector of those who think it won't get better, " says Velasquez, 25, who has a rare disease that makes it impossible for her to gain weight. She has never weighed more than 29 kilograms and is blind in one eye.

"The idea is that they see the documentary and realize that, yes, it is possible to overcome everything," she says during an interview in a coffee shop in Austin, Texas.
