I would love for you to add my award-winning documentary to your
list.
The film is called Spit It Out and below is a short synopsis:
Spit It Out is a funny and poignant portrait of Jeff Shamesıs
successful efforts to come to terms with his stutter and his
familyıs legacy of denial.
Jeffıs father is intolerant of and rageful towards his sonıs
imperfections, while his mother is unable to acknowledge her own
childhood stutter. As a teenager Jeff turns to alcohol and drugs
to mask his shame, and eventually marries an alcoholic who
interacts with the outside world for him. After his wife gets
sober, Jeff discovers the stuttering self-help community and
embarks on a healing journey of sobriety, self-acceptance and
forgiveness.
