Post-show Q&A with director Rodney Ascher

Ghost Boy is the moving and inspiring story of Martin Pistorius, who fell into a mysterious coma when he was just 12 years old. Three years later, he woke up, paralyzed and unable to communicate, finding himself suffering from locked-in syndrome and fearful that he would live his life as a “ghost,” invisible to those around him.

Alternating between vivid dream-like recreations of Martin’s past and present-day interviews with the charismatic survivor, the film effectively conveys Martin’s extraordinary journey—an emotional roller coaster ride of heartbreak and triumph.
