Synopsis

Strange Son is the story of two mothers from totally different backgrounds - Portia Iversen lives in the Hollywood hills with her film producer husband, Soma Mukhopadhyay in a one-bedroom flat without running water in Bangalore, India - who unite in a tireless search to find help for their severely autistic sons. This is a quest that leads them to make breakthrough discoveries that outpace current research and challenge prevailing theories about autism. National Autistic Society figures suggest that autism may affect as many as 1 in 110 children in the UK, and a recent study found that 1 in 86 children in primary schools are suspected of having autism. STRANGE SON provides a hugely important, fascinating and intensely moving look into a breakthrough that could potentially benefit tens of thousands of autistic children around the world.
