Acclaimed director Steve James (Hoop Dreams) and producers Martin Scorsese and Steven Zaillian present a doc that recounts the inspiring, entertaining life of world-renowned film critic and social commentator Roger Ebert, a story that is by turns personal, funny, painful and transcendent. Based on his best-selling memoir of the same name, LIFE ITSELF explores the legacy of Ebert's life, from his Pulitzer Prize-winning film criticism at the Chicago Sun-Times to becoming one of our most influential cultural voices.
