A mother tracks down 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 exposes a startling record of cruelty and kindness alike, framed by forces like race, money and privilege -- ending in the hope that acceptance is coming for people who live life on the spectrum. Based on a Pulitzer Prize Finalist Book with original music from Wynton Marsalis.
