THE REASON I JUMP at DMZ Docs

We are excited to announce that THE REASON I JUMP will be screened at DMZ International Documentary Film Festival, South Korea.

Jerry Rothwell’s critically acclaimed Sundance Audience Award-winner THE REASON I JUMP (UK/USA,  2020) will celebrate its Korean premiere in the Global Vision strand of DMZ.  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. 

Launched in 2009, DMZ Docs is held annually, usually in September, less than twenty kilometres from the Korean Demilitarized Zone (“DMZ”), and showcases films dealing with peace, coexistence and reconciliation. This year’s festival and industry event is set to take place 12th to 24th September.
