Summary

Imagine growing up being told you’re stupid, simply for having difficulty reading. That was the experience of singer-songwriter, Inch Chua. In Singapore, one in ten people are dyslexic and Inch is one of them. In this documentary, she meets fellow dyslexics – both those who have since carved out successful careers like her and those who are still in school – and find out if things have changed for people like them. She also finds out how the dyslexic brain works and how dyslexia, the hidden disability, can affect self-confidence and yet, at the same, become a superpower.
