The Life We Have | Mortality, Movement & the Richness of Being Alive

What would you do if death felt just steps away? For Rob Shaver -- having lived through multiple stage 4 cancer recurrences in the past two decades -- mortality has felt ever-present. "The Life We Have" follows his journey, a daily running streak -- three years and counting -- and a spirit that has kept him going through his latest terminal cancer diagnosis. Tracing Rob’s experience with the disease for most of his adult life, we come to confront some of the deepest questions at the heart of the human experience: What makes life meaningful when it feels most precarious? How do we keep moving forward when suffering feels endless? As the film unfolds and Rob’s story deepens, we are invited into an intimate meditation on mortality, movement, and a reminder to cherish the life we have.
