John Hendrickson stutters. He has stuttered nearly his entire life. And in the Opinion video above, Mr. Hendrickson, working with the filmmaker James Robinson, explores the obstacles and emotional burden of his condition and explains the coping strategies and workarounds he has devised to make it through the day in a world that demands that we speak up and speak clearly.
The film suggests that the problem may lie not with people who stutter but with a society that is largely unprepared or disinclined to accommodate them.
