Austin LeRette is a special little boy.
Because of his conditions, Austin is not simply a one-in-a-million child, but rather, a young man who was born with a combination of problems that occur only once in four billion births. Those are the odds of being born with both a rare brittle bone disease (osteogenesis imperfecta) and autism. Beginning with his birth, when the doctor’s forceps broke the tiny baby’s ribs, Austin has suffered countless broken bones — and his parents have struggled to keep safe their growing, inquisitive, active and very vulnerable son.
But what makes Austin truly unique is his joy-filled, life-affirming worldview, which transforms and unites everyone around him — especially his father, Scott, whose life is changed as he comes to see his son not as a symbol of something broken, but as the triumph of an indestructible spirit.
Kingdom Story Co. and Lionsgate bring this sweet, faith-based true story to the big screen in The Unbreakable Boy, opening in theaters on Feb. 21. The audience will break into smiles at the charming and exuberant Austin (played by Kellen Martelli as a 4-year-old and by Jacob Laval as a young teen).
