Left Behind, an NAACP Image Award–nominated documentary that examines how millions of children are left behind by reading instruction that does not align with what science tells us about how children learn to read. Through powerful storytelling and lived experience, the film highlights the real-life impact of literacy failure on families and communities across the nation.

Directed by Emmy Award–winning filmmaker Anna Toomey, the documentary features Fatima Getty and her son, Aiden Getty, and will be followed by a live panel discussion with Anna Toomey, Fatima Getty, and Aiden Getty, offering deeper insight and dialogue around the film’s message.
