 Kate Winslet: To narrate autism documentary
Oscar-winning English actress Kate Winslet has agreed to provide the English narration for an Icelandic documentary on autism, "The Sunshine Boy". Fridrik Thor Fridriksson has directed the Icelandic documentary.
Winslet has decided to participate in the documentary after watching the footage.
The documentary is a moving, compassionate portrayal of a mother's desperate quest to understand the perplexing condition that controls her son. A journey through different countries, where every stop-over opens a new path into the depths of autism - and places her son in a strikingly different perspective as it reaches the end.
The film features film producer Margret Dagmar Ericsdottir as she struggles to understand her severely autistic son, Keli, 11.
Ericsdottir said, "I am delighted and honoured that Kate agreed to do the narration".
"The Sunshine Boy," which premiered in Iceland in January, will have its international premiere in the Reel to Reel section of the Toronto International Film Festival in September 12.
The film also features musical contributions from Icelandic singer Bjork and the Icelandic band Sigur Ros.
