Streaming Video
The Way We Talk is a personal documentary intimately centred around a support group for people who stutter on their journey toward self-acceptance. Michael Turner struggles with one of medical science's most baffling and enduring disabilities - he stutters.On the surface, stuttering is syllable repetitions, prolongations, blocks, and various physical tics. But as he illustrates in 'The Way We Talk', stuttering is like an iceberg, with the major symptoms below the surface. Emotions caused by the disorder - anxiety, depression, denial, and a negative self-image - are rarely confronted in speech therapy or even by people who stutter.Turner explores his own experiences with stuttering and presents the stories of others who are part of the self-help movement within the stuttering community - stories that are relatable to anyone who has experienced feelings of separateness, isolation, or inadequacy in any area their life, and are trying to make the most of who they are.
