PHOENIX — A documentary is set to air in December that was filmed a residential property for adults with autism, named In A Different Key.
The film is based on the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book of the same name by journalists Caren Zucker and John Donvan – the film’s Executive Producers.
The film follows the mother of an autistic son as she finds and then befriends the first child ever diagnosed with autism – Donald Triplett, who still lives in the small Mississippi town where he was born nearly 90 years ago.
The residents and staff at First Place-Phoenix will hold a breakfast watch party on December 5 to see the interview with Zucker and Donvan, who previously traveled to Phoenix to film the documentary.
In A Different Key, a true story of love, difference and the fight to belong, premieres on PBS on December 13 at 7 p.m.
