"Why does God let bad things happen to good people?...That is the question that wrecks people's faith." This is the question Kirk Cameron poses at the opening to his movie Unstoppable. It is an edgy project that takes the viewer through the stories of the bible in a quick visually rich cinematic style to explain Cameron's thesis = religious belief.
I will start off by saying I am a Christian so the story Cameron puts forth wasn't a stretch for me to follow or understand. There were points where I felt a bit on edge wondering if he was going to dip his pen into uncomfortable territory but Cameron manages to balance on the edge and move his project forward to his final explanation that leaves one thinking, slightly emotional and comforted all at the same time. In fact, I backed up and played through his last speech again just to focus on the words and his meaning again.
Unstoppable is a project worthy of your time watching as well as continuing dialog with others. I would recommend it for a bible study or small group gathering. In fact, Try it - Like it has been offered a copy to giveaway to one fortunate reader.

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 3th, 2013), UNSTOPPABLE: A Live Event with Kirk Cameron sold a staggering 260,000 tickets and reached a theatrical gross of over $3.2 million dollars. 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 inspirational 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 families are provided an all-expense paid retreat (www.CampFirefly.com). Together, Kirk and Chelsea live in California with their six children.
