And if they don’t? That’s OK. He’ll be kind to them anyway.In many ways, Austin is like most kids his age. But in other ways, he’s a lot different. For starters, his outlook on life is more optimistic than his peers.

One day, he’s bullied. Another day, he struggles with an uncontrollable outburst. And then there’s Austin’s father, Scott, who masks his own struggles behind alcohol.Will Austin’s family ever find peace?The new faith-based movie The Unbreakable Boy (PG) follows the story of Austin and his family.
