DOLPHIN BOY 
Country: Israel 2011 Documentary Following a violent attack that he experienced, Morad - a 17 year-old boy from an Arab village in the north of Israel, is in a state of profound Post-Traumatic Dissociation. He has totally disconnected himself from the world around him and remains unresponsive to all forms of conventional therapy. When his doctor suggests dolphin-assisted therapy as a last resort, Morad's devoted father leaves his job and family and accompanies Morad to Dolphin Reef on the Red Sea, vowing not to return unless the boy achieves full recovery. Filmed over a four year period, and featuring breathtaking underwater cinematography, this intriguing film follows Morad’s remarkable journey as he gradually learns to trust, love and communicate again. This is the tale of a parent’s patient and tender love, and the bond between a teenager and the group of dolphins who helped him heal. It is about the devastating havoc that human violence can wreak upon the human soul, and about the healing powers of nature and of love. Date & Time: Sunday, November 6th at 3:35 PM
