About Unstoppable

Inspired by the death of Cameron's close friend who succumbed to cancer at the age of 15, Kirk Cameron takes viewers on an inspiring and hope-filled visual journey to better understand the biggest doubt-raising question in faith: "Where is God in the midst of tragedy and suffering?"

Going back to the beginning--literally--Kirk investigates the origins of good and evil and how they impact our lives ... and our eternities.  UNSTOPPABLE will prompt audiences to consider the role that pain and suffering has in our lives, as they affirm their personal views on faith, and encourage conversation starters about God, suffering, and hope.

In theaters for only two weeknights (Sept 24th and Oct 3rd, 2013), UNSTOPPABLE: A Live Even with Kirk Cameron sold a staggering 260,000 tickets and reached a theatrical gross of over $3.2 million.  In just two nights this independent project sent a loud message - audiences want thought-provoking and meaningful entertainment.

Kirk Cameron is best known for his memorable role as "Mike Seaver," a cultural icon of the 80's, with his mullet hairstyle, cool glasses, and wisecracking comebacks.  More recently he enjoyed much success with the No. 1 grossing inspiration film of 2008, Fireproof, and his recent documentary, Monumental.  Kirk and his wife, Chelsea, were on-screen sweethearts during their Growing Pains years and are the founders of Camp Firefly, where terminally and seriously ill children and their family are provided an all-expense paid retreat (www.CampFirefly.com). Together, Kirk and Chelsea live in California with their six children.

The first thing you need to know about this "movie" is that it isn't a typical movie.  It is more of a documentary.  In fact, on the back of the DVD case, it is listed as a "powerful visual journal".  However, Kirk Cameron's explanation of where God is in the midst of tragedy kept my interest throughout the entire DVD and really made me think.  I found this DVD to be quite enjoyable and plan to watch it again and again.

A couple quotes that really stood out to me ...
God can and will use tragedy for His greater glory and for our good.
God is good.  We can trust Him and his purposes are unstoppable.

We may not understand what God is doing, but we can be sure that He is there.  In the midst of the good and the bad, He will never leave us or forsake us.
