Cannell and Virgin’s Sir Richard Branson.

What do Billy Bob Thornton, Stephen J. Cannell and Joe Pantoliano have in common with 1.4 billion children and adults worldwide?  Dyslexia. They are also featured in DISLECKSIA: THE MOVIE, a powerfully touching and entertaining documentary that mixes humor and perspective with insight and analysis.  The film educates and illuminates many misconceptions about dyslexia, while underlining the need for raised awareness, early identification and social change.

Director Harvey Hubbell V explores issues surrounding dyslexia through a very human, personal lens, weaving his own lifelong experience, the research of scientists and the practice of educators, with the life experiences of celebrities, politicians, and adults and children living with dyslexia.

Intergenerational, multicultural and socio-economically diverse, DISLECKSIA: THE MOVIE presents a complete picture and the most current information on dyslexia, promotes positive messaging, explores the power of family and community and is the first film to offer an alternative perspective of dyslexia as a learning difference, rather than a disability. It is a movie that literally changes lives.  Please come see why at one of our anticipated press screenings. 

You and/or someone you know, is affected directly or indirectly by the phenomenon of dyslexia.  The release of DISLECKSIA: THE MOVIE coincides with National Dyslexia Awareness month in October.  The film opens in New York on October 4th, LA on October 11th, a nationwide one night only screening event on October 17th, followed by a city by city theatrical tour with Director Harvey Hubbell V through early 2014.
