Autistic boy Brynjar Karl Birgisson rebuilt the Titanic with 56,000 bits of Lego
Now, at 17, Brynjar is known worldwide as "the Lego boy" and often gives talks and speeches about how the Titanic and Legos changed his life. His story, already the subject of a book, is now told in a documentary premiering in Pigeon Forge. Entitled "How Titanic Became My Lifeboat," the film will have its public premiere at 11 a.m. March 7 at the Phoenix Theatre's Forge Cinemas, 2530 Parkway. The screening is free, but reservations are required at 800-381-7670. Brynjar will also speak at East Tennessee schools during the March "Read Across America" in visits arranged by the Titanic Museum Attraction in Pigeon Forge.
