Alex: A Life Fast Forward

Documentary1x60" for BBC1, BBC3

A story of the power of love, as a young man confronts his mortality.

Alex Lewis knows he does not have much longer to live. He was first diagnosed with bone cancer shortly before his 18th birthday. After over three years of intensive treatment, he realises he is running out of options. He decides to cram as much life as possible into the time he has left. 

Aged 21 he finds himself falling hopelessly in love and can’t quite believe what’s happening. He encourages his friends and family to join in the celebrations. 

This is a story of the power of love, as a young man confronts his mortality in the most emotionally charged circumstances imaginable.
