New movie about autism playing at the Ritz- you can view the trailer online
There's a new movie about autism playing at the Ritz. You can view the trailer here.
Here's the blurb:
"How far would you travel to heal someone you love? *An intensely personal
yet epic spiritual journey, *The Horse Boy *follows one Texas couple and
their autistic son as they trek on horseback through Outer Mongolia in an
attempt to find healing for him. When two-year-old Rowan was diagnosed with
autism, Rupert Isaacson, a writer and former horse trainer, and his wife
Kristin Neff, a psychology professor, sought the best possible medical care,
but traditional therapies had little effect. Then they discovered that Rowan
has a profound affinity for animals—particularly horses—and the family set
off on a quest that would change their lives forever.
Directed by Michel Orion Scott, *The Horse Boy *is part travel adventure,
part insight into shamanic healing and part intimate look at the autistic
mind. In telling one family’s extraordinary story, the film gives voice to
the thousands who display amazing courage and creativity everyday in the
battle against this mysterious and heartbreaking epidemic. The filmic
companion to Isaacson’s best-selling book of the same name, and a festival
favorite, this ravishing documentary odyssey gives insight into how, in
life’s darkest moments, one can find the gateway to joy and wonder.
