CONCOURSE VILLAGE, The Bronx (WABC) -- A new documentary is out that spotlights a group of mothers in their journey to help their children with dyslexia get a proper education.

The film, 'Left Behind,' was made with the goal to open a New York City-based school specifically focused on helping children with dyslexia.

It worked, which led to the South Bronx Literacy Academy opening in 2023.

"This story is really a social justice story, it's all about everyone getting equal access," said 'Left Behind' director Anna Toomey. "No one should be denied the right to be able to read."

'Left Behind' is Toomey's first independent film, and for her it was personal. Toomey's son Charlie is dyslexic and like the ladies in the film, she too spent years navigating a system that's largely not set up to support kids with this learning disability.
