Indestructible (2007)

A monastery high atop the mountains of northwest China ... the living room of a family confronted with terminal illness ... the office of renowned neurologist Oliver Sacks ... the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem... Indestructible portrays an epic journey of self-discovery for filmmaker and single father Ben Byer as he battles the incurable and fatal neuro-degenerative disease, ALS. A cinematic adventure filled with extraordinary characters and breathtaking landscapes, beautifully shot by Academy Award nominee Roko Belic (Genghis Blues), Byer takes a visually stunning global quest to survive as he begins to understand the power of the human condition. An extraordinary self-portrait of a man confronted with life's ultimate challenge, Indestructible goes deep within the human experience for a fascinating, funny and inspiring story of the conflict between hope and fate.
