WATCH THE TRAILER

Praying with Lior asks whether someone with Down syndrome can be a "spiritual genius." Many consider Lior close to God-- though he's also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration and an embarrassment, depending on who is asked and when. As this moving and entertaining documentary moves to its climax, Lior must pass through the gateway to manhood - his Bar Mitzvah.

After scoring Audience Awards for Best Documentary at THREE film festivals, glowing reviews from the New York Times to ABC News, and a smashing box office open in New York, Praying with Lior comes home.

A valentine to the Philadelphia community, Praying with Lior will open at the Bala Theater on March 14th. Turnout opening weekend determines the length of the run, so come early and spread the word to your synagogue, church, facebook pals, women's group, men's group, book club!

Stars Lior Liebling, Anna Liebling, Rabbi Mordechai Liebling and Lynne Iser, as well as director Ilana Trachtman will be at the theater at different screenings opening weekend for Q & A.

The Bala Cinema is located at:
157 Bala Avenue
Bala Cynwyd, PA 19004
