Résumé:Ilana Trachtman's film Praying with Lior follows the story of a boy with Down syndrome whose remarkable ability to pray with intention makes him a revered figure in his Jewish community.

She poses questions about hypervisibility, filmmaker-subject relationships, and mediating disability onscreen.
