Based on the NY Times bestselling book by Andrew Solomon, Far from the Tree examines the experiences of families in which parents and children are profoundly different from one another in a variety of ways.
"Andrew Solomon wrote his book 'Far from the Tree' as a way of reconciling with his parents, who rejected him for being homosexual, attributing it to a mental problem. Now, the documentary of the same name revisits Solomon's story and uses it as a thematic axis to narrate the life of five other families facing Down Syndrome to dwarfism, among others. The film has several emotional moments - and a mystery involving a homicide."
