trailer of the Temple Grandin biopic, which was shown on UK satellite TV yesterday (and I missed it):
Grandin is a household name for everyone involved with autism, following her memoir Emergence: Labeled Autistic, published in the 90s, but I guess it is a good thing to bring this remarkable life story to a wider audience, which will help raise awareness of autism as well.
There was a feature about Claire Danes, who plays Grandin in the film, in last Saturday's Guardian, which also contained some info about the film and Grandin's story.
I've heard that the biopic of Temple Grandin is excellent.
ReplyDeleteWe met her at a book signing several years ago.
Coincidentally, my wife screened the film yesterday and conducted a discussion of it at the university where she works.
