About "bAd"
The story follows John Read as he fights to make it through the 5th grade. With moments of heightened realism and stunning cinematography, members of the audience are placed inside the mind of a dyslexic child like never before.
With a teacher who thinks he's lazy and a bully who constantly mocks him... all hope seems lost. John's mother Linda takes matters in her own hands and researches the root of this problem. She finds out that John is not dumb or lazy... he is dyslexic. The story is a tale of triumph with a message that needs to be heard.
