Life According to Sam was a 2013 documentary on Foxborough High School (Foxborough, Massachusetts) student Sam Berns. He was age 17 when he died of the disease, January 10, 2014, and a fan of the New England Patriots. Had he lived another day, he would have served as the team's honorary captain in their playoff game versus the Indianapolis Colts.[61] Produced by Sean Fine and Andrea Nix, the film explains progeria and follows the process of finding a cure for it.[62] In an interview, Berns had said that the most important thing people should know about him is that he had a very happy life.[63]
