Voice in Exile is an internationally acclaimed award-winning dramatic film journey into the mind and emotions of Alan Woodward, a seventeen year old stutterer. Seeing the world, both imagined and real, through Alan's eyes, we share the nightmare that haunts him and his family as he struggles to not let his stuttering stop him from living. This remarkably moving film was written and directed by a stutterer whose efforts to translate the inner experience of the stutterer into a visceral cinematic experience makes Voice in Exile a unique and groundbreaking work that tells the story from the inside with all the intensity and power of a real life experience touching the viewer on many levels. On one level, it is about a young man's quest to conquer his stuttering. On another level, it is about the inner struggle of all those faced with physical and psychological challenges. On a broader and deeper level, the film speaks to all of us as it addresses a universal theme - the struggle to overcome one's legitimate and unfounded fears...fears that inhibit us, often with disastrous results.
