The Dyslexia Myth (2005) exposes the myths and misconceptions that surround a condition said to affect 10 per cent of the population. The Dyslexia Myth argues that the common understanding of dyslexia is not only false but makes it more difficult to provide the reading help that hundreds of thousands of children desperately need. Drawing on years of intensive academic research on both sides of the Atlantic, The Dyslexia Myth challenges the existence of dyslexia as a separate condition; but in doing so, reveals the scale and pain of true reading disability. The programme examines the chasm between evidence and educational practice and shows that, after hundreds of millions of pounds of investment in the teaching of reading, the number of children encountering serious problems has hardly changed.

This is a nice documentary, which examines various studies on dyslexia from both sides of the Atlantic, and highlights both the views of people affected by this problem, is to institutions that seek to find ways to address it.
I think it's important to look at it with very critical eye, though, compared to other programs on the subject, here we do not offer miracle cures, but they surveyed the various methods currently implemented, highlighting strengths and weaknesses.
