~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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."

This is a film not to be missed.

Waddie Welcome

Our event last Monday for Martin Luther King Jr. Day was part of a nation wide awareness building activity, and a great way to kick off the new year in our new location. The reading of Waddie Welcome is the story of man with a disability whose community rallied around his independence and exodus from institutionalization. It is best shared in a Georgia potluck setting, and in honor of his home state we encouraged our own neighbors and friends to bring something sweet and join us.
