Based on the bestselling book by Naoki Higashida, THE REASON I JUMP is an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity through the experiences of nonspeaking autistic people from around the world. The film blends Higashida's revelatory descriptions of his autism, written when he was just 13, with intimate portraits of five remarkable young people. It opens a window into an intense and overwhelming, but often joyful, sensory universe.
The film distils these elements into a sensually rich tapestry that leads us to Naoki's core message: not being able to speak does not mean there is nothing to say.
Please note:
The trailer has Closed Captions available.
It also contains 2.0 binaural stereo audio which will play out in the same way as a normal stereo track but provides an enhanced and more immersive listening experience.
For full effect they also recommend listening with headphones.
