Unbreakable

"Unbreakable" is a short documentary about a climbing group for children dealing with severe problems like diseases, disabilities or traumatic experiences. The film gives insight into the philosophy of climbing, and how it can support children in need. The central message is very beautiful: You cannot erase an illness, but there are still many ways to experience life to its fullest. Climbing is one of them and it teaches children that they can achieve anything no matter how hard it seems or how frighten they are at the start. Sometimes it just takes baby steps, but eventually they will reach the top of "Heaven's Gate."

A beautiful, heart-felt documentary about unconventional ways to help others. It also encourages the viewer to look at what these children can do instead of what they can't do. "Unbreakable" is very short and easily maintains the audience's interest, but at the same time you don't feel like any information is missing. It's not only an educational presentation of the climbing group in Munich, but also shows the children's intelligent perspectives on life and their own situation.
