    "Beyond" it delves into the extraordinary life of Tamara Mark. From the realms of Broadway and Hollywood, she emerges as a single mother to two severely autistic adults, Ian and Harry. The diagnosis of autism marks a turning point, leading Tamara on an unforeseen path. Her unwavering determination to provide a nurturing and safe community for her sons becomes the driving force of the narrative. Every mother, including Tamara, grapples with the haunting question: 'What will become of my children when I'm no longer here?” As she navigates the challenges and triumphs, the film unveils a powerful narrative of hope, resilience, and the boundless love that fuels her mission to create a haven where her sons and others like them can thrive, be safe, and cherished. This is an adventure that tugs at the heartstrings, igniting empathy and inspiration in every frame. CINEQUEST, renowned for showcasing some of the most life-affirming films globally, has bestowed upon "Beyond" the prestigious KAISER PERMANENTE THRIVE AWARD. This year, "Beyond" has deeply touched audiences with its profound narrative of resilience and optimism.
    After watching the movie, look up for the post-screening Q&A session video, where you can listen to insights from the creators Thiago Dadalt and Dru Miller, as so Tamara Mark and Marc Olson, as they discuss the remarkable journey behind the making of this extraordinary film. The movie is available with subtitles in Spanish and Portuguese.

    I felt like looking our life in a mirror. The struggles , the pain, the emotions, the devastation hiding behind the mama's beautiful smile and jokes, the constant battle that goes on in our mind, body and soul when seeing our babies struggle all of their life, even after exhausting every avenue to bring them back .
    My son has no way of communication and goes through so much pain that we havent been able to pin point for so long, it is the worst feeling in the world not knowing how to take away his pain and we live like this every day.

    My son was diagnosed with level 3 autism at age 4. It’s hard to say the least. I try so hard to help him with speech therapy and ABA. But I always feel like I’m not doing enough. He really likes to be on his tablet and I get criticized for letting him I just feel like everyone wants to tell you what to do but it’s exhausting you have to work extra hard when you have a special needs child. There needs to be more support for the families.

    I have a relative with a 21 year old daughter who is low functioning autistic non verbal..I’ve watched her struggles through the years and I know that there needs to be more resources, more research and more understanding for the families. This lady and any one who has more than one adult child with ASD are saints! I don’t think I could do it…blessings and much prayer for all!🙏🏻. Excellent documentary! ❤

    Thanks for doing this. Many have a misunderstanding of autism. Many don't know its a spectrum which means some will have speech and some don't. I hope this helps people understand the amazing work parents do for their kids with autism.

    I'm so happy you shared this story. From the comments it seems clear that many people have no idea that this is a lifestyle mirrored in thousands of homes. (I believe the autism rate is now 1 in 44.) For those of us that do know, we are grateful to see real autism on screen. It's not all Atypical. Sometimes its nonverbal and violent, and we need to address this massive pandemic and create housing and programs for this quickly growing population.

    When my child was diagnosed back in 1999, I thought I was the only one in the world dealing with this. What spiked the increase in cases of profound autism? Children's Health Defense has been very helpful in figuring it out for me. If you don't know Rolf Hazlehurst, Mark Blaxil, JB Handley or Brian Hooker, I would recommend you research what's going on. This is preventable.

    I am so proud of you girlie for doing what you do. I have high functioning autism, but not to this point where I’m nonverbal and I’m very aware of my surroundings and try to be a very good person. I have my few moments, but never to this extreme, and I really love your idea of creating a place where people can live as a community to help each other out😊❤

      Stop Blaming Autism on Vaccines look , IF it wasn’t for vaccines Thousands wouldn’t even be alive
      & Diseases would be Rampant
      WE Autistic ARENT Born normal & WE Will Never be normal, we are different but we are All people deserving of Kindness, Love and appropriate Treatment and Care. Without abuse From Those Abusive People Who Go to Work with
      The Disabled Population Only to end up Abusing The most Vulnerable People WHO CANT talk or defend themselves sadly.
      It’s not bad to be autistic. People need to stop Forcing Us to be Normal they need to
      Understand That !
      It’s narrow minded ableist thinking. Autism is apart of who I am and I don’t want to change it. It’s apart of me.
