This life-affirming documentary encourages us to cherish loved ones for all they are, not who they might have been. Based on Andrew Solomon’s award-winning, critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling non-fiction book “Far From the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity.” FAR FROM THE TREE When readers and critics called Andrew Solomon’s prize-winning 2012 book FAR FROM THE TREE a cultural touchstone, few would have guessed that, just a few years later, much of the world would enter an era that has been called “the end of empathy.” We are witnessing deadening daily battles based on issues of difference and identity.
