Screenings

Pearson grew up watching movies but never saw his disability reflected on screen. When he is offered his first acting role, he is uncertain about the spotlight it will inevitably generate, but an unlikely friendship with a young girl who also has NF1 gives Adam the inspiration to take centre stage, in this life-affirming story of embracing difference and chasing our dreams.
