This documentary is one of the most influential in the streaming era, providing an enthusiastic endorsement of plant-based eating by interviewing and profiling doctors, experts and high-performance athletes, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and F1 champion Lewis Hamilton.

The rise and fall of Hernandez, who once played in the Super Bowl, is seen as the filmmakers explore his troubled family life, his hard-hitting career and the personality changes that lead up to his violent off-the-field behaviour.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s3\">The Reason I Jump<b><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8fyNobgkx4E\" width=\"836\" height=\"430\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\">Available now: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theprojector.sg\/themes\/now-on-vod\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Projector Plus<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/h4>\n<h4 class=\"p4\">Stars: Jim Fujiwara, David Mitchell, Jordan O&#8217;Donegan<\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\">Based on a book written by a 13-year-old boy with autism, this film explores the lives of five remarkable young people, each of whom is a non-speaking autistic individual. Dubbed a \u201ccinematic exploration of neurodiversity\u201d, it has been hailed as a rare window into the sensory lives of these individuals, which can be intense and overwhelming, but also wondrous and joyful.
