'Unbeaten,' the second film from award-winning documentary filmmakers Steven C. Barber and Tamara Henry, is an inspirational story that chronicles the exploits of 31 paraplegics for six days, as they make their way in wheelchairs and hand cycles in the toughest road race in the world. The course winds 267 miles though the mountain passes of Denali National Park between Fairbanks and Anchorage. The film takes us into the 55 mile-per-day grind of three wheelchair racers. The story transitions midway through as the filmmaker follows the elite racers of the U.S. Paralympics squad, Oz Sanchez (current Paralympic gold medalist and fastest man in the world in a hand cycle) and Alejandro Albor (Paralympic silver medalist) in their quest to medal at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics.

| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferThoroughly engaging, inspirational, illuminating and genuinely uplifting. It's the rare kind of documentary that finds just the right balance between entertaining the audience and provoking them emotionally as well as intellectually. |
| User ReviewDanny HUnbeaten is an incredibly moving film. It follows the ambitions of 3 racers as they prepare for, and participate in, a 267 mile race from Fairbanks to Anchorage Alaska. What makes this the toughest race in the world is the fact that the racers are in wheelchairs! It is a story of drive, ambition and dedication to goals. The story evolves during the race to include the profiles of a few other racers in the event that go on to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games. The stories are powerful and the audience is left with a strong desire to go out and accomplish dreams. It encourages us to tear down barriers and ignore the critics who say "you can't do that" or "don't get your hopes up." Best film I have seen in years. |
