I spoke with James Redford, Robert Redford's son who is following in his dad's footsteps, writing, directing, producing. I had the chance to screen the film "The Big Picture" last night and I have to tell you regardless of whether you have a child, you know of someone, you yourself have been diagnosed as dyslexic or maybe you don't even know anybody with dyslexia Redford's film The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia is educational, fun and has lots of food for thought. 1 in 5 people are dyslexic and 1 in 10 are profoundly so. In the film, James spoke with Sir Richard Branson, Charles Schwab, attorney David Boies, as well as doctors and children who have been diagnosed with dyslexia. The list is impressive... http://www.dyslexia.com/famous.htm
