Join us as we talk with the talented team passionate about producing a literacy documentary titled The Truth About Reading: The Invisible Crisis Hiding in Plain Sight. You'll hear from Nora Chahbazi, founder of Evidence-based Literacy Instruction, Nick Nanton, Emmy-winning director, and John Corcoran, the teacher who couldn't read.

We can't wait to watch this incredible film highlighting the need for literacy education reform. This spectacular team shares a bit about the documentary and how it transitioned from vision to reality... and what's been most surprising to learn along the way!

Additional note:
John has authored several books: "The Teacher Who Couldn't Read," "The Bridge To Literacy," and "The Reading Gap." His story has been featured on 20/20, the Oprah Winfrey show, Larry King Live, CNN, Fox News, ESPN, Phil Donahue, The Joan Rivers Show, and more. Hear John's story here.
