Kate Winslet narrates Sunshine Boy

The talented film starlet Kate Winslet has agreed to provide the voice-over narration for a documentary about autism: The Sunshine Boy. The film was made by Icelandic director Fridrik Thor Fridriksson about a woman's international search for information and treatment for her son with autism. The film interviews notables like Temple Grandin, and features other families of children with autism in America.

The Iceland Review reported that Winslet had been persuaded to provide the English narration after viewing the video and with the prompting of the country's president's wife, Dorrit Moussaieff.

The movie will premier at the Toronto Film Festival in a few weeks.
