Thorkil Sonne’s visit to Iceland in January 2009 had originally sparked the idea of launching a similar company there.

Directed by award-winning Icelandic filmmaker Fridrik Thor Fridriksson, The Sunshine Boy is a story of courage, hope, and love. Margret travels from Iceland to the U.S. as she embarks upon a quest to understand her severely autistic son Keli (age 11).
