'I hated my burn scars until I made a movie'

Last week the critically acclaimed film Dirty God was released in UK cinemas, you may have seen the striking poster. It tells the story of a young mother's experience of an horrific acid attack, with the lead role played by real-life burns survivor Vicky Knight.

Along with the huge global success of Wonder the movie, the heart-warming story of a young boy with a visible difference - it's great to see a step change in mainstream films for people who look different.

Have you seen Dirty God? Have you seen Wonder? If you have, let us know what you thought about them.
