Six people from around the world come together in Bristol Myers' new film about 'Living' while also facing disease.

Bris­tol My­ers’ ‘Liv­ing’ doc­u­men­tary ties to­geth­er peo­ple man­ag­ing health con­di­tions

Peo­ple deal­ing with chron­ic or se­ri­ous health con­di­tions still want to live a full life. Bris­tol My­ers Squibb teamed up with sto­ry­telling agency Hu­man to show­case the “tena­cious de­sire to live” among dif­fer­ent peo­ple liv­ing with health con­di­tions or dis­eases through an orig­i­nal doc­u­men­tary film.

Called “Liv­ing,” the pa­tients shown in the un­script­ed film don’t have the same con­di­tions or de­mo­graph­ic pro­files or even live in the same coun­tries. There are six dif­fer­ent peo­ple who do have one thing in com­mon, though — they’re deal­ing with life-al­ter­ing dis­eases. Five women and one man with dif­fer­ent kinds of can­cers, au­toim­mune dis­eases, and lung or car­dio­vas­cu­lar con­di­tions speak to the cam­era about their very per­son­al ex­pe­ri­ences and emo­tions.
