ROCO Films to Handle Non-Theatrical Sales for ‘Left Behind’ Documentary About Dyslexic Children’s Education

ROCO Films is now responsible for selling “Left Behind,” a dyslexia-centered documentary not intended for theaters, along with related products, as they’ve acquired extra distribution privileges.

Anna Toomey’s ‘Left Behind’ film follows the journey of five mothers as they strive to establish the South Bronx Literacy Academy, New York City’s inaugural public school focusing on educating children with dyslexia. The movie documents their determination and struggles leading up to the school’s opening in 2023.

The business handles the distribution of films for non-cinematic screenings and additional sales across North America and specific regions where English is spoken. Abramorama had previously released this movie in cinemas across North America.

ROCO Films will also lead a related educational campaign across the country.

As a passionate movie reviewer, I wholeheartedly endorse “Left Behind” – a documentary that holds immense potential for stirring genuine change. At ROCO Films, we’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of documentaries, and this film is no exception. Given our previous collaborations on films focusing on learning differences, we are confident in the profound impact stories like this can have, particularly when they reach their intended audience.

I am thrilled to announce that “Left Behind” will be gracing screens across North America. Our goal is to ensure that every educator, family, and community has an opportunity to witness this powerful film. No child should ever feel isolated in their struggles, especially when viable solutions are within reach. With Abramorama leading the theatrical release, we anticipate a strong momentum behind us.
