“Based on Naoki Higashida’s best-selling book, The Reason I Jump is an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity through the experiences of nonverbal autistic people from around the world. The film combines Higashida’s revealing perspectives on autism, written when he was just 13, with intimate portraits of five extraordinary young people. It opens a window for the audience into an intense and overwhelming, yet often joyful, sensory universe.”
