Next Interview: Questions for Chaz Ebert (Roger Ebert’s widow) and director Steve James re: “Life Itself”?

chAZI remember that Siskel & Ebert were the first guys to alert me to the wonders of the great basketball documentary “Hoop Dreams.”

So it’s fitting that Steve James, who directed it, did the interviews and directed the Ebert biographical documentary “Life Itself.”

James and Ebert’s widow, Chaz, guided the project through completion after Roger got too frail and then died before its completion.

I’m wondering how much Ebert “directed” the film, even in his weakened state, how they saw his outlook on life and on movies change as his health failed.

But you probably have questions of these two as well. Post them as comments and I will squeeze them into my Monday interviews with James and Mrs. Ebert.
