"For some kids, I want it to turn their lives around." Discovery has unveiled a trailer for the documentary film titled My Beautiful Stutter, which is premiering on the Discovery+ streaming service starting this month. The doc follows five kids who stutter ages 9 to 18, from all over the U.S., who after experiencing a lifetime of bullying & stigmatization, meet other children who stutter at an interactive arts-based program, The Stuttering Association for the Young ("Say"), based in NYC. Over the course of a year we witness first hand the incredible transformation that happens when these young people of wildly different backgrounds experience for the first time the revolutionary idea at the heart of Say: that it's okay to stutter. This looks so powerful and inspiring! The doc is produced by Michael Alden and Ryan Gielen; and executive produced by Paul Rudd, Mariska Hargitay, Peter Hermann, Patrick James Lynch, and George Springer.

In 2017, mountaineer Chris Bombardier became the first person with hemophilia to scale Mount Everest. “Bombardier Blood,” bowing on demand Aug. 17, captures the remarkable journey in which he attempts to complete his goal of climbing the Seven Summits — the highest mountain on each continent — while raising awareness of the blood disorder.
The film’s shoestring budget of $200,000 meant the production couldn’t bankroll an entire team to make the climb to the top, so Rob Bradford and Joshua Sterling Bragg, the DPs for writer-director Patrick James Lynch’s documentary, knew they would need to entrust Bombardier, a novice with a lens, to handle the camera for the toughest part of the shoot.
Bragg compiled a “cinematography bible” that considered what kind of shots to use on which part of the mountain. He turned to the matter-of-fact style of Renan Ozturk, a climber and Dp on mountaineering films “Valley Uprising,” “Meru” and “Sherpa” for inspiration.
