Review of In So Many Words


The Sunday Edition and CBC have a well deserved reputation for producing and broadcasting outstanding documentaries. This one continues the tradition.

First person documentaries are hard produce, but this one is engaging and well written. It has a flowing narrative and teaches us about the little known disease Aphasia. The writing is meant to take us along with the story, rather than talking to or at us.

I like the sound of the pencil writing, each time bringing us back to the scene of Teresa and her father communicating.

This is a great documentary to place into a showcase slot.
