39 pounds of love

watched 39 pounds of love, dani menkin's 2005 doco about texan-born israeli animator ami ankilewitz, who suffers from a rare form of muscular dystrophy and decided on his 34th b-day that he was going to travel to the u.s. to realize his dreams: to confront the doctor who examined him when he was a year old and told his mother that he wouldn't make it past age six...and to ride a harley. proof positive (as if any more were needed) that stories from real life can be much more compelling than anything you could make up.
