Synopsis:

Jim Stynes is no stranger to overcoming extreme tests. For him, a challenge has a always been something he would go in search of. Like rising to the top of a sport he never grew up playing. Or leading the oldest club in the AFL back from extinction. Even uncovering a teenager's gift to the person most blind to it- themselves. Jim chooses challenges. Until 2009... when one chose him. How would you live differently if you were told you only had nine months to live? And what would you be willing to do to stay alive? The answer for Jim? "Whatever it takes." Since 2009, family and friends have been left spellbound at his remarkable yet highly controversial approach to diagnosis that gave the husband and father of two, only nine months to live. In this brutally honest account, Jim risks ridicule as he welcomes us into his daily routine and exposes a cocktail of conventional and unconventional therapies. Most are confronting, some are agonizing, others.... unthinkable. Every Heart Beats True: The Jim Stynes Story is not a documentary about a footballer. It's not even a story about someone fighting cancer. This is a rare insight into a gifted and unique mind that is nothing short of extraordinary. This is not a story about Jim - the patient, but Jim - the teacher.

As telecast on the Nine Network and with a massive Extras section of unseen material.
