Autism - The musical (2007) Upscaled

Описание: Autism: The Musical – full documentary (2007)
Watch the Emmy-winning film that re-imagined what inclusion, creativity and neurodiversity can look like on-stage and off. Drawing on six months of rehearsals with Elaine Hall’s Miracle Project , the documentary follows five Los Angeles children on the autism spectrum—and their parents—as they write, score and perform an original musical. Their journey of self-expression, family resilience and community activism helped change the conversation around autism worldwide.

Why this film still matters
Authentic voices & first-person storytelling – children, siblings and parents speak for themselves, capturing daily triumphs and sensory challenges.
Inclusive arts education – see Hall’s “7 Keys to Unlock Autism” method in action, now replicated globally through The Miracle Project.
Award-winning impact – Tribeca premiere, festival circuit success and 2 Primetime Emmys (Outstanding Documentary & Editing).
