The journey is not a smooth ride\, and they face both institutional and personal hurdles as they try to upend a system. \nA 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 But will they be able to convince a bureaucratic education system to overhaul outdated politics to ensure a brighter future for the city’s dyslexic youth?” – leftbehindthefilm.com
