Bionic Bev: Turning my disability into a 'work of art'

After decades of trying to hide her limb difference, Stacey meets roller derby enthusiast Bev as she gets a robotic arm.

Roller derby enthusiast Bev was born with one arm. Since she was a child she had longed for a piece of technology that could put an end to clunky prosthetics.

Stacey meets Bev as she is about to receive a new high-tech robotic arm and follows her transformation into 'bionic Bev'. After decades of trying to hide her limb difference, Bev is now ready to shout about it - and turn herself into a β€œwalking work of art".
