Documental - SPELLERS
Inspirado en el libro Underestimated, el nuevo documental SPELLERS desafía la sabiduría convencional con respecto a un grupo relegado a los márgenes de la sociedad: las personas autistas no hablantes ("no verbales").
Como pregunta la apertura de la película: "¿Qué pasa si nos hemos equivocado... sobre cada uno de ellos?" SPELLERS responde esa pregunta, de manera convincente, a través de las historias de ocho personas no hablantes: Aydan, Evan, Sid, Maddie, Jamie, Vince, Cade y Elizabeth, quienes encontraron su voz a través del proceso milagroso de usar un tablero de letras para comunicar sus pensamientos. y sentimientos. Como explica Jamie, “pensamos, sentimos y aprendemos como todos los demás.”
El documental es presentado en el idioma Inglés.
About the film
Inspired by the book Underestimated, the new full-length documentary SPELLERS challenges conventional wisdom regarding a group relegated to society’s margins: nonspeakers with autism, who most “experts” believe are cognitively disabled. As the film opening asks, “What if we’ve been wrong…about every single one of them?” SPELLERS answers that question, in convincing fashion, through the stories of eight nonspeakers—Aydan, Evan, Sid, Maddie, Jamie, Vince, Cade, and Elizabeth—who all found their voice through the miraculous process of using a letterboard to communicate their thoughts and feelings. As Jamie explains, “we think, feel, and learn just like everyone else.”
