Unstoppable (Unstoppable) - American documentary film of 2013, filmed by Kirk Cameron and director Darren Doane. After the death of a close friend who died of cancer at the age of fifteen, Cameron thought about the question of faith that arises from time to time for the believer: “Where is God when tragedy and pain come?” The purpose of the film is to answer this question, reveal the source of good and evil and encourage viewers to understand the role of suffering and pain. The film was shot in collaboration with Liberty University and was scheduled as a “one-premiere film” in cinemas on September 24, 2013, but due to its great popularity, a rerun was organized on the third of October of that year, and by January 2014 The release of the DVD is scheduled. “Endurable” attracted attention when the link to the official website was blocked on Facebook and the movie trailer was removed on YouTube . After widespread news, fans' discontent grew and Facebook unblocked the site. Representatives of the site said that the URL , which was purchased for the site, had previously been used to send spam and viruses. YouTube also unblocked the video, but no explanation was given.

Description
From the official Facebook page:
In The Irresistible, a new documentary, Kirk takes you on a special adventure to a better understanding of the greatest reason for doubting faith: Why? Kirk goes literally to the very beginning - he reveals the origin of good and evil and how they affect our lives ... and salvation. Recalling that we have a lot of hope, “Insurmountable” actually puts old questions and actually answers them: where is God, when does tragedy or suffering arise?
The film was shot in partnership with Liberty University . [2]
Facebook and YouTube issues
On July 19, 2013, Kirk Cameron posted an image on Facebook asking fans to request an unlock link to the film’s official website. He said: “I call upon all friends in Faith, Family and Freedom! Facebook officially “blocked” access for me and you (and all users of the site) to the link to my new film on UnstoppableTheMovieDOTcom ” [3] . Over 300,000 people shared this image on their pages. This event was covered through numerous media outlets such as CBS [4] , ABC [3] and Entertainment Tonight [5] . Soon after this link was unlocked.
A short time later the link was unlocked. According to The Hollywood Reporter , a Facebook spokesman said: “This link was blocked for a short time, which was necessary to identify the site as safe from the plan of sending spam and viruses. We rarely have such cases, but they help make our system better [6] . ” Mark Kirkland, public relations manager, told The Christian Post the following: “All we can do is say that the address purchased for the film’s website was used to send spam and viruses, and the filter of our system did not have time to update.” . We directly contacted Kirk’s team about this issue and unblocked the link immediately after we were convinced of the security of the site [7] . ”
Soon after, the Irresistible trailer was blocked on YouTube with a message about “breaking the site’s rules on spam, fraud and commercially deceptive content [8] ”. YouTube later removed the block because of the outrage of fans and the media [9] . YouTube representatives refrained from commenting [3] [9] .
