When the parents of an autistic child search for a miracle, an improbable, life-changing adventure ensues. Discovering a deep emotional connection between their son Rowan and a neighbor's horse, journalist and producer Rupert Isaacson and his wife Kristin Neff take a profound leap of faith to heal their child. Spent from the four-hour tantrums, myriad Western treatments and overall emotional toll of Rowan's autism, they head to Mongolia's majestic foothills and mountains where they journey on horseback in search of shamans and the storied highland reindeer people. But things don't go entirely as planned, and a series of unexpected breakthroughs and the promise of ancient healers must carry them through an often grueling experience—one that proves transformative for all. With its graceful storytelling and stunning cinematography, The Horse Boy inspires and surprises. Its honesty, unfettered emotion and hopefulness aptly reflect Mongolia's landscape: at once lush, desolate, dramatic and overwhelmingly beautiful. —Carrie Lozano
