'You can't do stuff if you're afraid' Alex's philosophy set the tone for the critically aclaimed documentary that followed the young music scholar in his final year at Eton as he prepared to conduct the Bach Magnificat. Alex is a musical prodigy and has won numerous awards for his performances, which would be extraordinary for any boy of his age, but in one with a particularly serious form of cystic fibrosis, it is humbling. On a daily cocktail of drugs, Alex lives from goal to goal, determined not to let his disability hold him back. In his own words, Alex now shares his next dream: to conduct the St Matthew Passion in London. His story is brave and inspiring; learning to live in the moment is a lesson for us all.
