Temple Grandin

Autism gave her a vision. She gave it a voice.

Starring Golden Globe winner Claire Danes (Romeo + Juliet), Julia Ormond (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Catherine O'Hara (Best in Show) and David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck), Temple Grandin paints a picture of a young woman's perseverance and determination while struggling with the isolating challenges of autism at a time when it was still quite unknown. The film chronicles Temple's early diagnosis; her turbulent growth and development during her school years; the enduring support she received from her mother (Ormond), aunt (O'Hara), and her science teacher (Strathairn); and her emergence as a woman with an innate sensitivity and understanding of animal behavior.
