In the Dark
dir. Jessie King
2018
Running time: 22 min.
Reading isn’t natural, it’s not instinctual and it’s a fairly recent human invention. Reading is a struggle for each of us to master as children. But those with dyslexia must fight to read their entire lives. Doctors say there is no cure and aim therapy and teaching coping strategies. But Texas therapist Dr. Phyllis Books has been working to reverse dyslexia for more than 30 years. In the Dark follows those struggling with the condition and hoping Books can change their lives—in just five days.
