My Beautiful StutterMy Beautiful Stutter

The documentary follows five kids who stutter, ages nine to eighteen, from all over the United States and all walks of life, who, after experiencing a lifetime of bullying and stigmatization, meet other children who stutter at an interactive arts-based program, The Stuttering Association for the Young, based in New York City. Their journey to SAY find some close to suicide, others withdrawn and fearful, exhausted, and defeated from failed fluency training, societal pressures to not stutter or the decision to remain silent. Over the course of a year, we witness first-hand the incredible transformation that happens when these young people of wildly different backgrounds experience for the first time the revolutionary idea at the heart of SAY: that it's okay to stutter.
