Up For Air explores the human spirit's fight for survival through the eyes of Jerry Cahill - a 53-year-old pole-vaulter who continues to fight respiratory degeneration, depression and a potentially fatal double-lung transplant. Shot over a period of five years, Up For Air captures the fragility of life with a chronic, fatal illness as it disrupts physical, mental, interpersonal and professional well-being, and how the intersection of dedicated athleticism, self discipline, and community outreach can achieve unprecedented outcomes.
