About the Author

James Callner, M.A. is a professional speaker and educator on OCD. He presents at schools, conferences and mental health venues.

Summary

Christopher is a boy living with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Kevin is the school bully. Kevin's bullying and criticisms of Christopher causes a chain of events that will have the power to change each of their lives forever.

In an attempt to stop Kevin's bullying, his teacher designs five extraordinary challenges. For two days Kevin must literally "step in the shoes" of a person with OCD. If Kevin can complete three of the five challenges, he can continue to participate in after school baseball. If not, he's out for the rest of the year.

From Writer/Director James Callner

"I have lived with OCD for over half of my life and have experienced, first hand, the intolerance directed at people with this disorder. Through the years speaking on OCD, many have asked me about my own process of healing. I tell them about the many treatments and therapies, and also that the most powerful medicine is understanding. It encompasses companion, kindness, empathy and the unconditional connection between human beings."
