Indestructible

About This Movie

Indestructible is a raw, deeply personal documentary that really captures the struggle of Ben Byer, a filmmaker grappling with ALS. The pacing is unhurried but impactful, allowing viewers to sit with his journey. The film's tone is a blend of hope and stark realism, making you reflect on life and its fragility. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on Byer's day-to-day reality, which makes it all the more poignant. You really feel the weight of his fight, not just against the disease but in finding treatment. It’s a distinctive piece that doesn’t shy away from the harsh truths of illness, yet it still manages to convey a sense of resilience.
