of this feature documentary
San Diego Showing:  Mission Valley AMC Theaters  Saturday, April 2 at 12pm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WRETCHES & JABBERERS is a poignant narrative directed by Academy Award® winner 
Gerardine Wurzburg that follows two men with autism, Tracy Thresher and Larry Bissonnette, 
who embark on a global quest to change attitudes about disability, intelligence and communication.  
A sentimental story about personal struggle that rings with intelligence, humor, hope and courage, 
WRETCHES & JABBERERS is about the life-sustaining power of relationships - the personal connections 
that people make through communication.

"AMC's exclusive release of WRETCHES & JABBERERS speaks to people with autism in their lives 
and raises the awareness of those not familiar with this condition," said Gerry Lopez, CEO and president 
of AMC. 

The movie is the latest documentary by Wurzburg who won the 1993 Academy Award for Best Documentary 
Short Subject for her film EDUCATING PETER and was again nominated in 2005 for AUTISM IS A WORLD.

"We are thrilled to partner with AMC Theatres and the Autism Society and be part of the call to action 
for the full inclusion of adults with autism in their communities," said Wurzburg. 
"Tracy and Larry's journey allowed us to portray the global face of autism, and now audiences across the 
United States will be able share in their story and better understand adults whose lives are
affected by autism."
