BIG NEWS!!!!! Mark your calendars for October 18th, as Left Behind makes its World Premiere at the Woodstock Film Festival! This uplifting film celebrates the unwavering dedication of mothers who pioneered change in education, ensuring dyslexic students receive the support they deserve. As a consultant producer, I’m thrilled to be part of this movement towards inclusivity. https://www.leftbehindthefilm.com/?ss_source=sscampaigns&ss_email_id=66f578b4d692af2387836a4e

Approximately 200,000 New York City public school students are dyslexic, yet there is no public initiative that provides the specialized skill and care necessary for these learners.

Frustrated that they had to remove their own kids from the public school system, a group of determined moms band together to do something that’s never been done before – open New York City’s first public school for dyslexic students. The journey is not a smooth ride, and they face both institutional and personal hurdles as they try to upend a system .

A new mayoral candidate bolsters their fight after he reveals his own dyslexia. But will they be able to convince a bureaucratic education system to overhaul outdated politics to ensure a brighter future for the city’s dyslexic youth?
