At the age of two, Sam Berns was diagnosed with Progeria, the progressive aging disorder so rare that fewer than 250 children in the world have it. His parents, Drs. Leslie Gordon and Scott Berns, were told that there was no treatment or cure, and they should simply enjoy what limited time they had with their son. The average life expectancy for a child with Progeria was thirteen. Leslie and Scott were not willing to give up so easily and set out on a journey to save Sam and all the other children with the disease. LIFE ACCORDING TO SAM reveals the remarkable world of Sam Berns set against the backdrop of his parents relentless pursuit of a treatment and cure for Progeria, including launching the first-ever clinical drug trial, while also making the most of their time together as a family. Directed by Oscar®-nominated filmmakers Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine.
