An admirably informative and empathetic effort clearing up common misconceptions about dyslexia, explaining that it's not a character flaw but merely a neurological issue affecting as many as one out of five individuals.

Wonderful information in this documentary as it follows people young and old who have dyslexia. As a dyslexic, it is interesting to watch others who struggled with dyslexia and overcame the challenges it presents. We need more awareness about the way our brains process information.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
