The 4th Annual Greek International Film Festival Tour (Canada): “Dynamo”: Not Trapped at The Border

Yianni Kioussis wrestles under the name “Asperger Dynamo”. He is not wrestling before crowds at large venues, at least not now but that he is wrestling at all is quite an achievement.

Epileptic seizures started at 6 months and by 1 there were 150-200 seizures a day. His first doctor said he would most likely not live past 2 years of age.

A switch of doctors and a ketogenic diet set him on the right path as seizures ceased. At 7 an Asperger’s diagnosis was made with spatial difficulties and social awareness lagging. He was a big adolescent and timid which fuelled bullying. But breaking boundary after boundary was second nature to Yianni who continues wrestling and attending university.

Yianni says that none of us are perfect and that is what makes us human. You should embrace your flaws as you can learn from them.

A documentary that illustrates impossibility in many cases simply does not exist.

This Canadian short documentary was produced by Alexander Bobby Antoniadis.
