In this true-to-life story, Zach Sobiech is a 17 year old kid that has osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer. He takes the last year of his life and guides himself through a long journey involving falling in love, making an album to chase his dreams, and tackling his condition as something that is not a part of him but instead, his cancer is something that is just there. Justin Baldoni, star of Jane the Virgin and director of Five Feet Apart and director of documentary series "My Last Days", takes on Sobeich's story in the most honest and raw way possible. He takes plenty of advice from Zach's family, knowing Zach from meeting him in 2013 from an episode of "My Last Days.
This story is to say the least, inspirational and with so much love. Even though he passed on in 2013, this movie continues this legacy. In this episode, I will be talking about Zach's backstory and his inspiring attitude to chase his dreams.
Note: This podcast episode (specifically, on Anchor and Spotify) will have all of its proceeds donated to Zach Sobiech's Osteosarcoma Fund in order to help end children's cancer.
