Kartemquin Films’s "Life Itself," based on Roger Ebert’s celebrated memoir of the same title, recounts the surprising, entertaining, and moving life of the world-renowned film critic and social commentator. Roger’s widow, Chaz Ebert, and filmmaker Steve James ("Hoop Dreams," "The Interrupters") share stories, clips, and outtakes from the summer’s most-talked-about film. Alison Cuddy, CHF’s program director and former WBEZ 91.5 host, will guide the conversation.

This program is generously underwritten by Carol Rosofsky and Robert B. Lifton.
