Robert Hartley worked as a documentary film director making films for
television. He trained at the National Film & Television School and he won
the British Film Institute Award as Outstanding Newcomer to British Film
& Television and other international film awards. Prior to becoming a film
director he worked as a research child psychologist with children from
London's East End and he has a doctorate in psychology from London
University. He has published research as a child psychologist and he has also
taught documentary film production at London Metropolitan University.
Like many millions of disadvantaged children, Bob Hartley went through school being unable to read, and he also had a speak impediment. Can't Read, Can't Speak Properly tells of his experience and his attempts to cope with the daily challenges and eventually overcome them, when having to finally address the question - What do you do when you know you're thick? His solution, to everyone's surprise, including his own, eventually led him to pass exams, go to university, be awarded a degree and later a doctorate and work as a research psychologist with failing working class children just like he was. Eventually he became an award winning documentary film director.
Can't Read, Can't Speak Properly will inspire parents, teachers, and people struggling with the effects of speech problems and illiteracy to believe that there is hope and that lives can be turned round, even when hope is lost. He did so, and hopefully his story and insights will help others understand more deeply and assist those to find a way out of this childhood ordeal.
