"Indestructible" is the story of Ben Byer, an actor and father in his early 30’s who develops ALS (a.k.a. Lou Gehrig's disease). Ben refuses to accept the prognosis of a 2-5 life expectancy. Ben's courage is two-fold: not only does he fight the disease with all his might but he does it with the camera pointed at himself. Ben carries us along on his emotional and spiritual journey as the symptoms progress.

A wonder film to experience.  There wasn't a dry eye in the theater. This is my best pick for the documentary film of Cinequest 2007.
