Autism, Disco and Me
Documentary which reveals how disco dancing has transformed autistic 10-year-old James Hobley's life and follows him as he tries to get through to the final of Disco Kid.
Two years ago, James Hobley couldn't read or write and was happier playing with his cats than talking to his family. Then, aged eight, he discovered disco dancing and his life changed forever. Within months he was reading and writing and winning dance competitions. Now he wants to be known as James the amazing dancer, not James the boy with autism. He's competing for the world title in disco at Blackpool's Tower Ballroom, but can he win?
