Praying With Lior

About the Film:

Praying with Lior asks whether someone with Down syndrome can be a spiritual genius. Many believe 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 documentary moves to its climax, Lior must pass through the gateway to manhood – his Bar Mitzvah.
