Contortionist Jaures Kombila: Because of my flexibility, they called me a witch

Jaures Kombila from Gabon can get into almost any position using his amazingly flexible body.

But as a child, he suffered stigma because of his unusual abilities.

Now, thanks to social media, he has begun to establish himself as a professional contortionist and is training others to do the same.
