Synopsis
“Special,” “Gifted,” “Different,” Despite the vast inventory of words to describe children who are on the Autism Spectrum, we still understand so little about their worlds outside of the medical lens. IN OUR WORLD follows 3 children in their day-to-day lives - swimming classes, horse-riding, music lessons, special moments with their parents and therapists - and so much more, converging into a narrative that spells hope. The documentary aims to reveal the intricacies of their world and perhaps pave the way for OUR world, and for both to coexist with empathy and kindness. This screening will open with a short film DUKE - an award winning film on a non-verbal autistic teen and his family, endorsed by the Autism Society of America.
