This documentary by father and filmmaker Luis Macias tells the personal tale of a dad learning to understand and embrace the reading disorder affecting his 8-year-old son, Alejandro.
Told from the perspective of those who live with dyslexia, the film delves into the emotional struggles of parents whose children have been diagnosed, adults who have struggled all their lives and experts who have made it their mission to dispel the alarming myths that many people believe about the frustrating disorder.
