"Powerful...Inspiring...Left Behind is an urgent call to action to help dyslexic kids".
- Anderson Cooper, CNN
Dyslexia impacts one in five children worldwide, yet while 20% of the population has this learning difference, a staggering 48% of incarcerated individuals are dyslexic. Families without financial means often lack access to essential testing and tailored curricula that their children desperately need. In a city like New York, where 70% of students are Black and Brown, around 200,000 children are left without the support they need to thrive. Runtime 1 hour, 14 minutes.
