Everyone has to see this film!

Please send a thank you to all of those that made this possible. Larry and Tracy are so inspirational as were the young protégés they were mentoring to be self-advocates. The families too, sharing their homes, stories, and seeing the emotions as their children became empowered to use their voices was indeed amazing. Everyone needs to see this film. Please, please get it into wider national release. Our son was denied access when he could not speak as a younger child and so many children still are, we see it every day. This film needs to be seen, enjoyed, and the message realized.
We will never forget the day of our son’s initial diagnosis of severe autism and the doctor telling us that one day we would have to institutionalize our son and to concentrate on his older brother. We thank God we didn’t listen and that we sought a way for him to communicate via AAC. Today he is attending college, still struggles with expressive and receptive communication, but is also out there self-advocating. We would love to see this film start a movement to change what seems to be a shift back toward segregation recently. The message loud and clear from all of the individuals living with autism in this film was they were seeking inclusion within their communities and for others to presume competence. AMEN!!!
With much appreciation,

Dark Knight...best film of 2009

Amazing film and can't wait to see it again. We attended the midnight IMAX showing and were very delighted with the film.
Heath Ledger's performance was good but so were all of the other principle actors.
Loved the moral and ethical comparisions as well as the entire story behind the film.
Wonderfully entertaining and great acting by all involved. Will be winning some Oscars for sure.
