Embracing Dyslexia

Streaming video - 2016

In 2008 filmmaker Luis Macias learned that his eight-year old son, Alejandro, was dyslexic. Although diagnosed relatively early, Alejandro was held back in first grade due to poor reading and writing skills, which caused him countless homework battles and self-esteem issues. Macias decided to do what he does best, and the resulting film tackles the issues surrounding dyslexia like few other documentaries.
