He was a star Yale football player who went on to become an attorney. She was a beautiful cheerleader who became a loving, caring teacher. Together they have four children, two boys and two girls. The boys are on the autism spectrum. The Family Next Door introduces us to the Lund family and takes us along on their journey into the hyper-complex and emotionally draining maze that is autism. We discover in real-time how the entire family is impacted. We witness the isolation, confusion and gnawing selfdoubt. And we experience with swelling hearts how unconditional love, hope and determination steer this family forward. (USA, 2014, 83 min. | Directors Michael Messner and Barry Reese)
