Inside Our Dyslexic Minds

Chris helps a school counsellor explain to her brothers how being dyslexic impacts her life and makes a builder from south Wales the star of his very own musical.

It’s thought that as many as one in ten people in the UK are dyslexic, making it the most diagnosed type of neurodivergence. But despite this, Chris feels that dyslexia is frequently ignored and often misunderstood. He meets two dyslexic people frustrated that the people in their lives don’t fully understand them.

Teaming up with top filmmakers, animators and graphic designers, they create evocative short films which explain to family and friends how they’re truly feeling inside - and what’s really going on inside their dyslexic minds. A school counsellor explains to her brothers how being dyslexic impacts her life, and a builder from south Wales becomes the star of his very own musical.
