Be Here Now

Inspiring documentary on Welsh-Australian actor Andy Whitfield who, after finishing the first season in the lead role of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, was diagnosed with cancer and given a 25% chance of surviving.

"Andy Whitfield had just landed the role of a lifetime when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma ... Not knowing his fate, but determined to beat the odds, Andy decides to film his journey in hope of inspiring others facing life-threatening illnesses. Armed with courage, humor and matching tattoos, Andy and his wife Vashti vow to fight the disease while living fearlessly in the present. Sparking an unprecedented international response on Kickstarter, and directed by Academy Award-nominated documentarian Lilibet Foster, Be Here Now is a remarkable love story, a testament to the human spirit and an inspiring lesson about living each moment to the fullest."
