“Brock and Fernette Eide’s life-changing work on dyslexic strengths can now be seen as a movie! Watch truly inspiring people, from an ER physician and inventor, to a puppeteer, to the man who discovered the Titanic, explain how their dyslexic brains help them achieve in their everyday lives.
Empowering and reassuring for anyone with dyslexia, their families, teachers and friends.”
Margaret Rooke,
Author Dyslexia is My Superpower (Most of the Time) and Life After School: Dyslexic and Taking on the World!
More than just a documentary, it’s a shift in perspective—from viewing dyslexia as a limitation to understanding it as a different kind of strength. It acknowledges the need for support and intervention, but also celebrates the brilliance, innovation, and resilience that dyslexia can inspire.
This documentary is essential viewing for educators, parents, and anyone whose life has been touched by dyslexia. It reminds us that dyslexia is not just about what challenges us—it’s also about what makes us extraordinary.

Inspiring movie for all ages
Pretty positive we are a family of 4 dyslexics. My youngest has the common trouble with learning to read fluently. We all relate to the MIND categories, each with our own stronger suits. I have enjoyed the audio book and was excited to see the movie! I homeschool and watched it together with my 12- and 9-year-olds. They were glued to the whole thing–great job keeping it interesting even for a 9-yr-old! As homeschoolers, they are not growing up with any of the stigma around reading troubles.
“It’s pretty interesting to see how many people can use their dyslexia for their job.” -9 yr old
Fortunately with resources like this book and movie, my kids are growing up knowing and understanding their strengths and potential. For that I am so grateful!

In elementary school —which was in the advent of disco— no one understood how I was wired or how I learned. I was a problem child told to cowboy-up and take fourth grade again. How I wish I had a Time Machine to take this video back to my fourth grade teacher (Both of them): See! I’m not lazy or stupid!!
Decades passed before I learned I was dyslexic. What a wonderful film for parents and adults to discuss with the Muggles (Neurotypicals) who have no awareness of dyslexia.
Framing. The film will help parents & adult dyslexics frame the discussion at school or work. For example, the parts on episodic memory really resonated. At work, I often explain to colleagues I have vivid episodic memory but often need context clues helps me access it.
Great tool for parents. I often handed out copies of The Dyslexic Advantage book to my sons’ teachers and school administrators. How lucky parents are now to be able to share this video.
Great Work! Loved the movie!!

This movie was full of information about what are the strengths of the dyslexic mind. It was well organized and engaging to watch as the information was clearly and briefly explained and then demonstrated by highlighting the successful lives of people with these strengths. The highlighted individuals were articulate and well able to explain what it is like for them to experience their dyslexic strengths.

We all very much enjoyed the film, and it provided some excellent thoughts for our grandson. We’ll be sending the information on to others we know with dyslexic children/grandchildren.
