An engrossing and tender documentary, "Praying With Lior" introduces Lior Liebling, also called "the little rebbe," a young boy with Down syndrome who has spent his entire life praying with utter abandon. Lior—whose name means "my light"—lost his mother at age six, and her words and spirit hover over the film. While everyone agrees Lior is closer to God than most, he’s also a burden, a best friend, an inspiration and an embarrassment, depending on which family member you ask. As Lior approaches his Bar Mitzvah, various figures from his life reflect on "praying with Lior." $6 general and $4 seniors and children 4-12. For specific show times, visit www.filmaction.org. Plays March 15-16 and March 22-23. Hollywood Theatre, 4122 NE Sandy Blvd. 503-281-4215.
