A mother tracks down and befriends the first person ever diagnosed with autism, now an elderly man in rural Mississippi, to learn if his life story holds promise for her own autistic son. Her journey with side trips through autism's past and present exposes a startling record of cruelty and kindness alike, framed by forces like race, money and privilege. Ultimately, she finds hope that more of us will begin to have the backs of those who are "different." Scored by Wynton Marsalis.
