Announcing the Release of The Disruptors, the First Comprehensive Documentary Film on ADHD Award-Winning, Star-Studded Documentary Available in New Zealand on Apple TV/iTunes, Google Play & YouTube

Published

on

GREENWICH, Conn., July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Following its successful US debut, THE DISRUPTORS – the first definitive, comprehensive documentary film on ADHD, one of the most commonly diagnosed, and widely misunderstood neurological conditions in the world today – is now available in New Zealand on Apple TV/ iTunes, Google Play and YouTube.

Over seven million US children, and over 23 million adults are diagnosed with ADHD. THE DISRUPTORS provides an inside look at five families currently living with this condition. The award-winning documentary film also hears from the nation’s top experts on ADHD, and spotlights a small army of high-profile, game-changing personalities about their ADHD, as they testify to the challenges as well as the “super skills” they have leveraged to achieve great success.

THE DISRUPTORS features award-winning American rapper & producer will.i.am; American media personality Paris Hilton, Hall of Fame astronaut Scott Kelly, comedian, actor & television host Howie Mandel, JetBlue founder David Neeleman, three-time Olympian Michelle Carter, fashion designer & businessman Steve Madden, personal trainer & television personality Jillian Michaels, former professional football player Terry Bradshaw, former chairman & CEO of AOL Tim Armstrong, Nantucket Nectars and The Nantucket Project founder Tom Scott, Entrepreneur and Wheels Up CEO Kenny Dichter and more.

Created and produced by Emmy-nominated producer, Nancy Armstrong, acclaimed producer Kristin Lazure, and award-winning director Stephanie Soechtig, in collaboration with Happy Warrior Media and Atlas Films, the film takes an immersive look inside our country’s approach to ADHD, debunking the most harmful myths and reframing our perspective on this diagnosis. Viewers are intimately transported into the five families’ households where they navigate the challenges — and the surprising triumphs — of living with ADHD.

SYNOPSIS: ADHD is one of the most commonly diagnosed-and widely misunderstood-neurological conditions in the world today, affecting nearly 10% of kids and a rising number of adults. But what if having an ADHD brain is actually an asset? A growing number of innovators, entrepreneurs, CEO’s, Olympic athletes, and award-winning artists have recently disclosed that their ADHD, managed effectively, has played a vital role in their success.

After meeting board-certified child and adult psychiatrist, and nationally recognized expert on ADHD, Ned Hallowell, M.D., film producer Nancy Armstrong was inspired by his “strengths-based” approach to ADHD and knew that the medium of film was the best way to finally upend the stigma associated with this diagnosis.

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:

Nancy Armstrong is an Emmy-nominated producer and Executive Producer at Happy Warrior Media. Previously, she co-founded the award-winning women’s leadership and media platform, MAKERS, which was named one of the 100 best websites for women by Forbes, and received the Women’s Media Center Award for its ground-breaking contribution to women, history, and America. Nancy was inspired to create this film as a result of her family’s experiences navigating life with ADHD.

PRODUCER’S QUOTE:

“ADHD is simultaneously a major public health issue as well as one of the most powerful engines of creativity and innovation for the world. This film will liberate kids and families to know that they are not alone and that their child with ADHD has some challenges and some pretty impressive strengths. And if you’re a kid with ADHD who has ever been told that you’re never going to amount to anything, the role models in this film are the most powerful counter to that narrative. ADHD touches every classroom, every business, and every community in the world, and The Disruptors offers a blueprint to change ADHD from an issue to an opportunity – one kid at a time.”
–      Nancy Armstrong, Executive Producer/Producer

DIRECTOR’S QUOTE:

“These kids are seen as naughty or disruptive and in need of better parenting, but it’s like asking someone with glasses to see without glasses. Taking away this stigma that comes along with things that are neurological is a real sea change that needs to happen.”
–      Stephanie Soechtig, Director

Chelsea FC name fast-growing fintech platform as Principal Partner

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chelsea Football Club has today announced a multi-year partnership with Sokin, the embedded finance and payments company used by businesses worldwide. Sokin will be named a Principal Partner and Official Business Payments and FX Partner of Chelsea FC and Chelsea FC Women.

As a Principal Partner, Sokin will be represented on the sleeves of the Chelsea FC men’s, women’s and academy home, away, and third kits from the 2026/27 season.

The partnership brings together two ambitious London-headquartered organisations with worldwide reach – a club with millions of fans across the world and a fintech platform through which businesses move more than $11 billion a year. A club of Chelsea’s scale works in many currencies every day, with partners, competitions and supporters around the world, and needs a financial partner built to handle that.

Sokin gives finance teams business payments, multi-currency accounts, foreign exchange, checkout and treasury in one place, so they spend less time juggling banks and providers and keep more of what they move.

As Official Business Payments and FX Partner, Sokin will simplify how Chelsea FC sends, receives and manages money in the currencies the club operates in.

The Sokin logo will feature on the sleeve of the Chelsea shirt for the first time [when the men’s team host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24th October.]

Jason Gannon, President at Chelsea FC said:

“At Chelsea, we seek to partner with organisations that share our ambition and innovative mindset. Sokin’s expertise in business payments, and their focus on making both simpler for the businesses they serve, makes them a natural fit for the Club. We are pleased to welcome Sokin to the Chelsea family and look forward to working together in the years ahead.”

Vroon Modgill, CEO and founder at Sokin said:

“Chelsea plays on the biggest stage in world football, and its business runs in dozens of currencies. Sokin was built for that with regulated, multi-currency payments and foreign exchange for organisations that operate internationally. We’re proud to be the platform behind the business payments and FX of one of the most iconic teams in football. Sokin’s platform serves businesses in more than 170 countries. We’re thrilled to be partners for the season ahead. An organisation as sophisticated as Chelsea doesn’t leave its finances to chance.”

About Sokin

Some businesses use Sokin to manage global finance in-house. Others build it into their products to power financial experiences for their customers.
