The Civil War was a time in the United States where everyone was extremely divided. At this time, abolitionists throughout the divided United States attempt to influence people with different views.

In Go Carolina by David Sedaris, the author tells a story about his struggles and battles with his speech therapy class because of his "lazy tongue".

When I was younger my mother would say that I spoke with a New Yorker accent. Words would fly out of my mouth a mile a minute, but others couldn’t me. I had a speech problem for sure, I wasn’t able to pronounce my r’s. As hard as I tried they would turn into w’s as soon as they left my mouth. I was a late bloomer as a child, I didn’t start walking till I was 14 months and I wasn’t truly speaking until I was around 2 1/2 years old. My older siblings spoke for me, so there was no reason for me to talk to my parents or others at such a young age. The affects of me inability to speak correctly didn’t hit until I was in first grade. My teacher said it inhibited my ability to fully grasp onto the curriculum. I didn’t believe that, I just thought she didn’t want to listen to me talk and that sh wouldn’t be able to understand when I answered or asked questions in class. Not only that but I wasn’t able to make that many friends because this and would get taunted and teased. At this point I realised that speaking clearly was my Ithaca and the journey that endures of my speech problem, was Odysseus’ long twenty years home.

This documentary focuses on the journey of seven different individuals who are considered people who stutter. I believe it is important to note the statistics of the prevalence of stuttering mentioned in the video. The statistic states that 1 out of 100 adult and 5 out of 100 children are people who stutter. This prevalence is important for speech therapists to become informed and equipped to treat this population. This documentary gives great insight on the struggles and successes of this population.
