The film in question is The Reason I jump, director Jerry Rothwell’s documentary featuring an insight into the world of non-speaking autistic people. Based on Naoki Higashida’s best-selling memoir is a Sundance winning feature: an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity through the experiences of nonspeaking autistic people from around the world. The film blends Higashida’s revelatory insights into autism, written when he was just 13, with intimate portraits of five remarkable young people. It opens a window into an intense and overwhelming, but often joyful, sensory universe.
