Autism, shamans, and horseback riding: Part II

The Horse BoyThis past spring, I wrote about Rupert Issacson, the man who wrote a book called The Horse Boy about healing his autistic son, Rowan, by taking him to Mongolia to ride horses and visit shamans.

Although I expected to be skeptical, I found the book very moving.

As a follow-up, Issacson produced a film that chronicles his story that is being released in theaters this week. Here in New York, it opens at IFC on Wednesday night, with a special appearance by Isaacson on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

If you see it (and/or him), please comment here.
