​Clips from "2e: Twice-Exceptional" & "2e2: Teaching the Twice-Exceptional"

"2e: Twice-Exceptional" is a 2015 film directed by Tom Ropelewski, who also directed the follow-up, "2e2: Teaching the Twice-Exceptional," in 2018. The films follow the personal journeys of a handful of middle school and high school students in Los Angeles who have been identified as "twice-exceptional" — gifted or highly gifted individuals with learning disabilities or differences — and how their parents and teachers support them.

The following are clips from those films and follow-up interviews done after production. For more information or to view/purchase the full films, please visit childofgiants.com.
