OSCAR-winning actress Kate Winslet is to provide the English narration for an Icelandic documentary exploring autism. Directed by Fridrik Thor Fridriksson, The Sunshine Boy follows a mothers attempt to understand her severely autistic 11-year-old son. The film sees her travel halfway across the world to Texas to the well-known autism therapist Soma Mukhopadhyay. The Sunshine Boy will have its international premiere at the Toronto Film Festival next month. I am delighted and honoured that Kate agreed to do the narration, said Margret Dagmar Ericsdottir, who gives the films first-person account. Her contribution plays an instrumental role in increasing awareness for autism, which many claim is the worlds fastest-growing epidemic. BBC Icelandic musicians Bjork and Sigur Ros also contribute to the film. Winslet won a best actress Oscar earlier this year for her performance in the post-World War II drama The Reader.
