Almost every day on South Beach in Miami, aspiring country music singer and songwriter Robert Kraft (nicknamed “Raven”) engages in a workout that has now become a cause. Accompanied by his girlfriend “Miracle" and a band of followers, Kraft and other runners race eight miles a day, regardless of the weather. Kraft appears to be obsessive, living in a cluttered apartment where he is surrounded by over 50 volumes of his mostly unpublished, unsold song lyrics. Although he admits that it can be a "lonely life," he has good friends who try to help him overcome what they perceive to be his hoarding habit. While grizzled, the sixtysomething Kraft looks astonishingly fit, but he complains of back pain and shortness of breath (a subsequent heart exam gives him a clean bill of health). Friends say that Kraft has a fear of losing control, and Kraft himself admits to having a one-track, highly-focused mind. Co-directors Mary Beth Koeth and Wallace Cruz's Unstoppable includes insights from acquaintances, fellow runners, and Kraft's girlfriend, who seem to have an unending supply of fondness and patience for his eccentricities. Kraft finds his life's meaning in songwriting and running and seems unlikely to quit any time soon. An offbeat portrait, this is recommended. Aud: P. (S. Rees)
