At 8:30 tonight on Showtime, don't miss the movie Dad's in Heaven with Nixon. Filmmaker Tom Murray documents the life of his brother, Chris, who was diagnosed with autism in an unforgiving era. Interviews with his mother and siblings bring to light the inner struggle of the brothers' father, Thomas Sr., who "just couldn’t wrap his mind around the fact that he had a neurologically damaged child."
Chris, now 50 years old, used his unique perspective to grow into a successful artist sponsored by KS Art. He is known for his depiction of Manhattan buildings in meticulously rendered two-dimensional landscapes. To see samples of his work, and view a trailer for the documentary, visit http://www.inheavenmovie.com/.

I loved this film,I sat down with my husband and daughter today and watched this. My mother has bi-polor and yes it is as hard on the people she loves and are around her, but because she s my mother ,I will always be there for her. She tales out anger on me because she knows I will take it and not blame her but blame the disese. I respect you and you motherfor being there for your brother and glad he is doing so good.
We watched this movie last night and we LOVED it. It was so touching and a true testament to the power of a mothers love.
