Dad's in Heaven with Nixon (1:25) 2010

Dad's in Heaven with Nixon is an absolutely wonderful documentary which hopefully will be watched by many. It is the story of Chris Murray, an artist with special needs. Chris lives independently in New Haven, CT and works two part time jobs. Chris also creates huge colored pencil drawings of detailed NYC skylines. Chris, being on the autism spectrum, has highly developed visual skills, his cityscapes include buildings with precision details. This movie is also about a family's struggle with members that suffer from mental illness (Chris's grandfather and father). The Murray brothers and sister shares how their large Catholic family has been greatly impacted by the suffering of their father's battle with his demons. This is a mesmerizing, emotional documentary. Please see it and then spread the word. (I streamed it through Netflix.)
