The creation and success of this film brings us hope that this one day may become the reality for our world as a whole. Our existence deserves to be acknowledged and normalized not only on screen, but in everyday life. As a nonspeaking autistic myself, to see so many diverse autistic individuals on screen, represented accurately and truthfully, was a refreshing step forward for my community. Such a presentation of autism provides the audience an alluring glimpse into the autistic mind. The film, which won Best Documentary in the prestigious British Independent Film Awards (BIFA) and Audience Award for World Cinema Documentary at Sundance 2020, illustrates Naoki’s words and depicts the lives of autistic individuals across the globe. The Reason I Jump is an internationally acclaimed multi-award winning film adaptation of a biography belonging to Naoki Higashida, a nonspeaking autistic from Japan.
