Autistic icon and famed animal husbandry expert Temple Grandin triumphs over prejudice to become an innovator in the field of animal care and an advocate for the unique vision and potential of people with autism.

Director Mick Jackson teams with screenwriters Christopher Monger and William Merritt Johnson to tell the story of autistic icon Temple Grandin, a woman who refused to let her disorder limit her true potential. Adapted from Grandin’s own writings, the film allows the audience to experience the world much like she does while recounting her colorful life and remarkable achievements from childhood to adulthood.
