This winning and accessible documentary, based on Ron Suskind's best-selling memoir, tells the story of his son Owen, a remarkable autistic man who as a child used Disney movies to rediscover language and empathy, and as adult finds they give him a sense of purpose and belonging. Examining the life-changing power of story and what it means to be human, this real-life fairy tale combines clips from Disney classics as well as brand-new animation that imagines Owen as the hero of his own adventure.
