Mountain Boy |. International Feature

A young Emirati boy with Autism ventures with his new friend Barakah, an Arabian Saluki to find acceptance, family, and redemption.

This is a story about adventure. This is a story about family. This is a story about friendship. This is Suhail’s story, told Suhail’s way, from Suhail’s eyes. This is Mountain Boy.

As storytellers we are more than just directors or producers or writers or editors. As storytellers we are honoured with an opportunity to share a glimpse into the world and the worlds within it. Suhail’s world has been told many ways – with scientific names, diagnosis and research. But to Suhail, the world is a place of wonder. It’s a place where he learns that his unique powers can bring to light both challenges and triumphs, and that he can teach others how to live and thrive.
