Spartacus star Andy Whitfield’s journey after being diagnosed with Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is chronicled in the documentary Be Here Now from Oscar nominee Lilibet Foster (Speaking in Strings). Grab some tissues before watching the trailer for the film which was made with the full support of Whitfield and his family. The documentary was funded via Kickstarter, earning the distinction of being the third most successful documentary funded by that method. Tugg and Be Here Now Productions are releasing Be Here Now in theaters beginning on April 8, 2016.
The Plot: An inspiring love story between television superstar, Andy Whitfield, of Starz’s Spartacus fame and his charismatic wife, who together take on the most heroic role he’s ever had to play. They generously trusted Oscar® Nominated filmmaker Lilibet Foster to follow them on their quest to heal Andy from a cancer diagnosis, in the hopes that by sharing their journey, they may help to inspire others with challenges and dreams. And, it’s their courage, humor and love, that reminds the audience that the journey is more important than the destination.
