2021 - A DISCOVERY+ ORIGINAL DOCUMENTARY
"This emotionally engaging film is the best documentary about stuttering so far... Ultimately it is a movie about our need for acceptance and the power of unconditional love to heal the soul. This film can replace text books for Speech Pathology students and professionals as well as providing support and hope for parents and youngsters struggling with this physical challenge."
Paul Schneider, Ed.D. CCC-SLP, founding partner of Schneider Speech Pathology
