The Reason I Jump – Watch the trailer for an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity

Based on the bestselling book by Naoki Higashida, The Reason I Jump is an immersive cinematic exploration of neurodiversity through the experiences of nonspeaking autistic people from around the world. The film blends Higashida’s revelatory descriptions of his autism, written when he was just 13, with intimate portraits of five remarkable young people. It opens a window into an intense and overwhelming, but often joyful, sensory universe.

The film distils these elements into a sensually rich tapestry that leads us to Naoki’s core message: not being able to speak does not mean there is nothing to say.

Directed by Jerry Rothwell. Based on the book by Naoki Higashida, and translated by acclaimed British novelist David Mitchell.

THE REASON I JUMP will open in cinemas across the UK on Friday 18th June.
