Sunday Night reporter Tim Noonan meets a remarkable 11yearold girl who is quite literally, one in a billion.

Brave Supatra “Nat” Sasuphan suffers from an incredibly rare genetic disorder called Ambras Syndrome – or Werewolf Syndrome – which results in her body being covered in hair, including all over her face. It was thought to be incurable, but scientists have made a breakthrough in discovering what triggers her excessive hair growth.

And they’re hopeful Supatra’s misfortune maybe the key to curing baldness for millions of men around the world.
