The Horse Boy
Aka "Over the Hills and Far Away". Based on the 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. It is the remarkable story of Rowan Isaacson - a severely autistic child who begins to find solace through a special bond that he forms with horses. Rowan's parents take him to Mongolia, where horse-riding originated, and where shamanism - healing at its most raw and direct - is widespread. The film includes interviews with some of the foremost experts in the field of autism, but above all, this is the story of a couple that goes to the end of the earth to find a way into their son's life.
