Jared Noel is 32 years old. He’s awaiting the arrival of the newest member of his family, a daughter. He could be like any number of fathers to be – but there’s one big difference. Jared is dying.
Jared has bowel cancer, a diagnosis which took him and wife Hannah from newly-wed bliss to the stark realisation that he would not be here for much longer. At first theirs was a story of survival, but as the rays of hope progressively disappeared, the reality began to sink in: Jared’s most enduring legacy could be the birth of a child. A child who might never know her Dad.
This documentary is the story of Jared, Hannah and their little baby; one of hope, endurance and the simple longing of a first-time dad – to hold his little baby in his arms before the end.
