"Not about disability, but about a family that has encountered disability, and there's a big difference."
New York Times.
An amazing true story of triumph and tragedy across three generations. Filmmaker Tom Murray's brother Chris suffered brain damage at birth and was subsequently diagnosed as autistic. As their mother unites the family to maximize his potential, one person refuses to participate: their father, a charismatic entrepreneur with issues of his own.
