39 Pounds of Love (Jewish Film Festival)

USA, 2005, 70 minutes
English, Hebrew and Spanish with English Subtitles
Directed by Dani Menkin
Part love story, part road trip movie, 39 Pounds of Love is the poignant and inspiring story of Ami Ankilewitz, an extraordinary Israeli man who redefines the word "survivor." Diagnosed with a dangerous and severe form of muscular dystrophy, doctors predicted he wouldn't live past six years of age. Now 34-years-old, weighing a shocking 39 pounds, and paralyzed except for one finger, Ami defies his extreme physical limitations to carry on a life of vitality in Tel Aviv working from his wheelchair as a computer animator. Ami travels to the United States, where he was born, for a cross-country road trip with friends to confront the doctor who predicted his early demise and to fulfill his lifelong dream of riding a Harley Davidson. Unflinching and inspirational as Ami himself, 39 Pounds of Love is a portrait of sheer determination like nothing seen onscreen before.
