September 16th, 2006

Pat Notaro is a documentary filmmaker from California whose new film is called “A Walk On Water: Autism, Mercury, and the Environment.” The film traces the story of how Notaro got involved with the controverial topic of possible causes of autism. His late father left a gift to an organization called Surfers Healing Autism, and Notaro used the experience to make a movie about the group. That led to “a journey across the United States interviewing scientists, doctors and parents focusing on the most publicized and controversial explanations of autism.”
