BECOMING BULLET PROOF DOCUMENTARY
Films are an essential part of media. They aim at portraying realism and fiction and
connecting to the audiences.
"Becoming Bulletproof" is a film about striving to become a full human being through artistic
endeavour and raises important questions about the exclusion and marginalization of disabled
people from our wider culture.
This is the story of how four very different people with disabilities from across America take
on leading roles in an ambitious indie film production, to make a Western entitled
"Bulletproof", complete with authentic Western wardrobe, saloon brawls, showdowns at the
poker table, and evil villains. "Bulletproof", is the brainchild of brothers Will and Pete Halby
from Vermont, who run an annual film camp in Venice Beach, California.
We all have our own weakness, it only takes courage to turn adversity into positivity.
