Personal accounts of cancer can be inspiring, and this documentary about renowned film critic Roger Ebert is no exception. Tina and Leah discuss the man, his career, his cancer, and how he lived life to its fullest, right until the end. 

FYI: You don't need to have seen the movie to partake in their discussion.

Life Itself the documentary is based on the memoir of the same name written by Roger Ebert. With his keen eye for storytelling, however, it is no surprise that the memoir translates flawlessly to film. 

Tina and Leah talk about how this film was particularly inspirational and would love to know your thoughts on it!
