Everything is Incredible – stirring short documentary by Tyler Bastian and Cameron Trejo about a man named Agustín from Siguatepeque, Honduras who was struck with polio at a young age. Crippled by the disease and unable to walk, he spent most of his life in poverty, working as a shoemaker – until 1958, when he decided to pursue his childhood dreams of flight and began building a crude custom-designed helicopter out of trash. An extraordinary story.
