Until 20

Running time: 84 mins

"Is a good life measured by its length, or by its depth?" It's only one of the many thought-provoking questions raised by the life of James Ragan. What would you do in a moment of fear, a moment of likely defeat? Do you break down—or do you keep going? Diagnosed with a rare bone cancer, James puts up a tough fight physically and emotionally, and he does so with optimism, courage, and spirit—inspiring everyone he meets. Determined to stay true to who he is and help others in the process, James smiles, falls in love, and looks up when others would easily look down. Winner of the Hiscox Courage Award and the Marquee Audience Award, Austin Film Festival, Until 20 chronicles an inspirational journey that reminds us to value the time we've been given on this earth.
