![]() ![]() ![]() Rothwell’s approach is the latter – for him and for his fellow contributors on this misguided film, the autistic experience is one that cannot be adequately depicted through simple observation. Others see fit to editorialize, sometimes for good reason and sometimes not. Some documentarians are content merely to observe. Now, Jerry Rothwell’s The Reason I Jump attempts to provide an insight into a milieu ostensibly familiar to most, yet in significant ways distinctly foreign: the life of an autistic person. Victor Kossakovsky’s Gunda gave us the chance to observe life on a farm for a family of pigs, free from (almost) all human interaction. ![]() Chen Wei Xi and Wu Hao’s 76 Days placed us inside a Wuhan hospital at the peak of the COVID-19 outbreak early last year. Some of 2020’s best documentaries achieve such emotional proximity with aplomb, transporting the viewer into milieus entirely foreign to most of us. Of course, said spectator never truly experiences said lives, but the best cinema is shot through panes of empathy and compassion that bring us emotionally close to that which we cannot be physically close to. Whether depicting the quotidian or the extraordinary, the mundane or the fantastical, it offers the spectator an opportunity to experience the lives of others arguably better than any other medium. Cinema is a window into worlds we might otherwise never see. ![]()

![]() King's leadership took place during the most tumultuous period in America's recent past. Despite attempts to suppress the movement, Montgomery buses were desegregated in December 1956, after the United States Supreme Court declared Alabama's segregation laws unconstitutional. As the boycott continued through 1956, King gained national prominence as a result of his exceptional oratorical skills and personal courage. For example, in December, 1955, days after Montgomery civil rights activist Rosa Parks refused to obey the city's rules mandating segregation on buses, a bus boycott was launched and King was elected as president of the newly formed Montgomery Improvement Association. This was a time when large numbers of Americans, barely recognized as such by sanctioned power, dared to dream of what the country could be at its best, in the face of what often was its worst. Martin Luther King, more than any other figure, shaped American life from the mid-'50s to the late '60s. ![]() ![]() "Letter from Birmingham Jail" is a clearly written essay that explains the reasons behind, and the methods of nonviolent civil disobedience, and gently expresses King's disappointment with those who are generally supportive of equal rights for African-Americans. ![]() ![]() ![]() They all have their own personalities despite not having any distinct borders separating them.
