Story: The life and career of the renowned film critic and social commentator, Roger Ebert.

Life Itself recounts the surprising and entertaining life of world-renowned film critic and social commentator Roger Ebert - a story thats by turns personal, wistful, funny, painful, and transcendent. The film explores the impact and legacy of Roger Eberts life: from his Pulitzer Prize-winning film criticism and his nearly quarter-century run with Gene Siskel on their review show, to becoming one of the countrys most influential cultural voices, and finally to Rogers inspiring battles with cancer and the resulting physical disability - how he literally and symbolically put a new face on the disease and continued to be a cultural force despite it.

This film, whose name is taken from the title of his memoirs, documents the professional life and associated behind the scenes personal life of , perhaps best known as one of the preeminent film critics of his time, both of the Chicago Sun-Times and in his many television appearances with rival film critic, , of the Chicago Tribune. The film chronicles, among others: Eberts knowledge from a young age that he wanted to be a print journalist to capitalize on his natural flair for writing, and the measures he took to achieve that; being appointed a reporter for the Sun-Times in 1967 and his appointment shortly thereafter to being its film critic; his unlikely on-the-surface collaboration with sexploitation filmmaker on , written by Ebert; being awarded a Pulitzer Prize, the first person to be awarded such for film criticism, and how he used that prize to advance his career; his admitted alcoholism and being sober since the late 1970s; his antagonistic collaboration with Siskel, and how that collaboration eventually blossomed into friendship, characterized as a relationship akin to sibling rivals; how their television shows changed the face of popular film criticism for good and bad; getting married for the first time late in his life, his wife who would be by his side personally and professionally until his death; how he helped the careers of many struggling filmmakers, some of who would become his friends, and how those friendships affected how he reviewed their subsequent movies; how Siskels illness and subsequent death affected how Ebert dealt publicly with his own physically deforming cancer; and how his deteriorating health affected how this documentary ended up being framed.
