Mical (2020) | OFFICIAL FILM | Dyslexia Film

If you have dyslexia or know someone with dyslexia you should watch this film. An eight year old boy, who can't even spell his own name, is bullied at school for being unable to read. Based on the inspiring true story of Mike Jones and his mother Pat, 'Mical' is an emotionally charged story of Mike’s dyslexia and how Pat’s persistence and determination changed everything. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞. 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫. 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦 "People assume dyslexia is being addressed but in reality, it isn't. We want people to realise the pain that parents and children go through but also to give them hope that dyslexic children can learn to read and write. They just need to be taught in a different way. The film is about my struggle." Mike Jones 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐲𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐜𝐬 "Mical should be seen by every child, school, educator, pre-service teacher and policymaker. It perfectly encapsulates the frustration and struggles that those of us with dyslexia face, as well as the impact this has on self-esteem. It also shows the world that dyslexia doesn’t make us lesser in any way and that when taught in a way that takes into account our differences, that we really can soar!" Georgia Ryan, teenage dyslexia advocate "Anyone who watches this and cannot chose to do better for dyslexics, must not have a heart.” Julie Holmes McKinley "When I watched this, I saw myself as a child. I also saw my son, and I could see myself again as his advocate mom. This film will strike so many chords with so many people. It's very well done...No one who is dyslexic, or who is the parent of a dyslexic child, will be able to keep the tears from flowing. This story will absolutely connect to people and change hearts. It's powerful. I've gotta dry my eyes now."
