This is an inspiring documentary about Dr. Fred Lee who is recognized by the National Institutes of Health as one of the leading researchers in prostate cancer. Ironically, he discovered that he himself has this disease. The film explores Dr. Lee's personal struggle with cancer and the recognition of his own mortality. It shows the conflicts which arise between his dedication to his work and his commitment to his family; his changed relationship to his patients now that he is a patient himself. Most dramatically, it shows how his own sense of purpose has been transformed by the awareness of death, enriching his life in a totally unexpected way.
Everyone involved with the terminally ill, as well as patients themselves will gain hope and understanding from Dr. Lee's experience.
