    Directed by James Redford, this inspiring and informative documentary provides personal and uplifting accounts of the dyslexic experience from children, experts in the field, and iconic leaders such as Sir Richard Branson and financier Charles Schwab. The film not only clears up misconceptions about dyslexia, it also paints a picture of hope for all who struggle with it. Shining a spotlight on the latest scientific and psychological research, the film also highlights the work of Drs. Sally and Bennet Shaywitz, co-founders of the Yale Center of Dyslexia and Creativitiy to illuminate the hidden origins and implications of dyslexia.

    Following the film, a panel with a Q & A session will be moderated by the Rawson Saunders School.
