We're Not Stupid is an insightful and
very personal video that gives a voice to people who are struggling with learning
disabilities. It was made by filmmaker Fonya Naomi Mondell, who is also living with
learning differences. She captured the personal stories of young people from all walks of
life who discuss what it's like to live with attention deficit disorder and dyslexia.
Their comments are open, honest and direct, and their determination to manage their
conditions shines through.
We're Not Stupid is a must see for students with learning differences and educators
wanting to make a difference in their lives.
Reviews & Comments
"Their brief, forceful statements add up to a
crash course in empowerment."
The Met , Dallas/Ft. Worth Weekly
"I got called lazy. I got called
slow. I was told I couldn't be more than an auto mechanic or a truck driver. That's all I
would ever be...and I'm out to get something better than that for me.",
19-year-old student
"This film moved me to tears. It made
me realize we don't involve the most important persons in the decisions being made: the
child."
Judy
Sullivan,
Priority School Instructional Liaison,
Richardson (TX) Independent School District
Finally, a poignant documentary that speaks
to the experiences of students with learning disabilities and/or attention deficit
disorder in the education system. This concise and evocative video presents educators the
opportunity to hear students talk about the impact on their lives when the educational
system has not been receptive to their needs." , Dr. Lynda J. Katz, Ph.D.
President, Landmark College, Putney, VT.
