My Last Days is a TV documentary series profiling courageous people navigating life

with a terminal illness yet thriving. The goal for this episode was sharing a heartwarming

story about a millennial living with ALS and captivating viewers with the magic of his

authentic life experience. Anthony is a street photographer living with ALS. This terminal illness has robbed him of

his mobility and thus his artistic expression, as he can no longer lift his camera to take

photos. This episode is itself life-changing creativity because the show gave a voice to

an underrepresented population. Producers of the show also created technology that

allowed Anthony to shoot photos, even though he can no longer lift his camera because

of the disease. This creative act allowed Anthony to continue doing the creative artistry

he so loves.
