DOLPHIN BOY
Palm Beach Premiere
Directed by: Dani Menkin, Yonatan Nir
2011; Israel; 72mins. Hebrew, Arabic with English subtitles
This is the tale of a parent's patient and tender love, and the friendship between a teenaged boy and the group of dolphins who helped him heal in a remarkable three-year journey of recovery. “Gentle yet bracing, "Dolphin Boy" is a documentary about recovery and rebirth, set amid the kibitzing porpoises of southern Israel, which brought a traumatized Arab boy back to life after an assault that left him mute and unreachable” Variety
“More grounded in simple observation than in fanciful theories, this effortlessly engaging story of sudden tragedy and halting recovery wisely focuses on the facts and leaves the wonder to the audience.” New York Times
