Institute History
- 2007 Sundance Film Festival
Description
One in 166 children in the United States is diagnosed with autism each year. This stunning figure signals a national epidemic, but most people know nothing about it. Autism Every Day shows the stark face of autism, spending 24 hours with eight diverse families who have autistic children.
Director Lauren Thierry, herself the mother of an autistic son, understands the agonizing struggles facing these parents every moment of the day. Sacrificing careers, finances, social lives, and often their own marriages, these overextended mothers and fathers do everything they can to provide their children with the best care possible. They persevere to get their children and themselves through life one day at a time.
Autism Every Day is a heartbreaking, honest testimony to unconditional love and the power of hope.
— Basil Tsiokos

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
