The Horse Boy (Over The Hills And Far Away)

This film, which had its world premiere at Sundance, explores one family's unforgettable journey as they travel halfway across the world in search of a miracle to heal their son. A sweeping and emotionally charged story, the film embodies the openness and faith the Isaacson family places in the possibility of trying something extraordinary. After feeling traditional medicine had failed them, journalist Rupert Isaacson embarked with wife Kristin and 5 year old autistic son Rowan by horseback to seek help from legendary shamans in Northern Mongolia. The results of the trip are simply astonishing.
