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

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