A USA Today feature highlighted “Wretches and Jabberers” a documentary on the travels of disability rights advocates Tracy Thresher and Larry Bissonnette, co-produced by Douglas Biklen, dean of the School of Education at Syracuse University. The documentary was also featured in a Wall Street Journal Q-and-A with documentarian Gerardine Wurzburg, who will receive an honorary degree from SU on May 15. Massachusetts Newswire also mentioned the documentary in the scope of National Autism Awareness Month.
