The winner of numerous Audience Awards for Best Documentary, called "a crowd-pleasing delight" by Variety, PRAYING WITH LIOR asks whether someone with Down syndrome can be a “spiritual genius.” Many think Lior is close to God -- at least that's what his family and community believe -- though he’s also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration and an embarrassment, depending on who is asked and when. As this moving and entertaining documentary moves to its climax, Lior must pass through the gateway to manhood - his Bar Mitzvah.
Treat yourself to this uplifting portrait of an extraordinary child, his special family, and his inclusive community.
Special Olympics Chairman Timothy Shriver wrote, "I could scarcely contain my emotion."
