About the film: The Disruptors(2022, NR, 90 min.) ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed and widely misunderstood neurological conditions in the world today, affecting nearly 10% of kids and a rising number of adults. But what if having an ADHD brain is actually an asset? A growing number of innovators, entrepreneurs, CEOs, Olympic athletes and award-winning artists have recently disclosed that their ADHD, managed effectively, has played a vital role in their success. The Disruptors hears from many of those game-changing people about their ADHD and takes an immersive look at our approach to ADHD that debunks the most harmful myths while intimately taking viewers inside a number of families as they navigate the challenges - and the surprising triumphs - of living with ADHD.
