The extraordinary case of Alex Lewis is a documentary about how Alex Lewis, a man who lost his arms and legs and part of his face because of a flesh-eating bacteria, did everything he could to rebuilt his body and his relationships with his wife, Lucy, and his three-year-old son, Sam.
The series, which will air on Channel 4, next Thursday, April 28, at 9pm, follows his rehabilitation and the emotional fall-out he has endured.
The extraordinary case of Alex Lewis is the result of filmmaker Leonardo Machado’s 2-year work, who started filming the family man just few days after he lost his limbs.
