 The Horse Boy Director: Michel Orion Scott Distributor: Zeitgeist Films Country: US Theatrical Release Date: September 30, 2009 Synopsis: 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 a desperate attempt to treat his condition with shamanic healing. After traditional therapies for two-year-old Rowan proved ineffective, Rupert Isaacson and Kristin Neff discovered that he had a profound affinity for animals—particularly horses—and the family set off on a quest for a possible cure…. The filmic companion to Isaacson’s best-selling book of the same name, The Horse Boy is part travel adventure, part insight into shamanic tradition and part intimate look at the autistic mind. In telling one family’s extraordinary story, the film gives voice to the thousands who display courage in the battle against this mysterious and heartbreaking epidemic. In life’s darkest moments, one can find the gateway to joy and wonder. [Synopsis courtesy of Zeitgeist Films.] Read More on indieWIRE:
