A NETFLIX Documentary- WATCH NOW! Link in Bio. A new documentary on dance and difference “Room to Move” may appear to be about dance. It is really about neurodivergence. The acclaimed documentary, streaming on Netflix from Wednesday, follows Jenn Freeman, a choreographer in her 30s who is losing her connection to her lifelong passion when she is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Though shaken, Ms Freeman is also given a new perspective on her life, allowing her to recognise her dancing as having originated in “stimming”-the repetitive self-stimulation through which many autistic people regulate anxiety or other intense emotions. Alexander Hammer, the director, deploys an immersive style reminiscent of both “Moonage Daydream” and “Afternoons Of Solitude”-two recent documentaries about David Bowie and bullfighting, respectively. This helps the viewer experience Ms Freeman’s life as she does: seeing what she sees and feeling what she feels (at least a little). In doing so, it provides a rare insight into how a neurodivergent person understands the world.
