ITVS brings story of hope and autism to your community

The Autism Society is proud to support ITVS’s national Community Cinema screenings of the acclaimed documentary The Horse Boy, coming to more than 50 cities across the U.S. in April 2010.

How far would you travel to heal someone you love? For one Texas couple, it means a spiritual journey halfway around the world to Mongolia. When their son is diagnosed with autism, they seek the best treatments, but nothing works … until they discover their son’s connection to horses and the effect it has on him. Part travel adventure and shamanic quest, this is the story of how one family found a gateway into understanding their son’s life.
