The Horse Boy

An autistic pre-adolescent prone to tearful outbursts, Rowan Isaacson rarely talks to family members, but he seems to have a special bond with horses. Frustrated that Rowan isn't responding to traditional treatment methods, his parents take him on a journey from their home in Texas to a shaman's hillside abode in Mongolia. This documentary depicts how Rowan responds to the shaman's unusual combination of healing ceremonies and horseback riding.
