Temple Grandin
Save as calendar entryThe biopic "Temple Grandin" tells the story of the US scientist Mary Temple Grandin of the Colorado State University, where she holds a professorship for livestock behavior and welfare. Grandin's career is remarkable: being an autistic person, she became a world-renown autism spokesperson as well as expert for lifestock behavior. In 2016 she was elected as member of the American Academy of Arts and Science.
The movie is focused on her years at the university, but follows Grandin's life through a number of flashbacks. At first, she has serious problems with dealing with new people. Despite considerable concerns, she manages to overcome these problems, partially through the invention of a squeeze machine, similar to those used in farming. With this machine, she manages to treat herself and carve a successful scientific career.
Temple Grandin was involved in the filming process. Clare Danes stars in the title role and did not only receive rave reviews for her performance, but was also awarded a Golden Globe.
As scientific expert for this film, we could win Prof. Hannelore Ehrenreich from the Max Planck Institute for Experimental Medicine. She is head of the research group Clinical Neurosciences and renown expert for autism spectrum disorders.
