THE HORSE BOY official US trailer

Now on DVD from Zeitgeist Video. 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. 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 for their son—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 for a possible cure.

The Horse Boy is part travel adventure, part insight into shamanic tradition and part intimate look at the autistic mind. In telling one familys 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 Isaacsons best-selling book of the same name and a festival favorite, this ravishing documentary odyssey gives insight into how, in lifes darkest moments, one can find the gateway to joy and wonder.

Respect to the Shaman...? How about those parents? Raising a child is not easy, I have so much respect for them for what they were willing to do for their child! Most people would not have done anything close to that!

questo splendido film-documento tratta dell'autismo con una crudezza, una forza ed una potenza d'amore che solo la verità può permettersi. Naturalmente in Italia è semisconosciuto...

For those who dont know, this film was made with one camera man, a director (both of whom were friends of the parents) and a professional sound man. It was documented incase the childs condition improved so that they had records of it. Not to be released as a film.
