Tropes for the film:

  • As Himself:
    • Jenifer, along with her sisters, are interviewed as they discuss searching for treatment for ALS, a disease that ultimately kills her.
    • Various celebs appear as themselves in archive footage as Project ALS raising money to combat the disease.
  • Disappeared Dad: The sisters' father left when they were teenagers and it is mentioned he took almost all the money with him, forcing them to work various jobs to make ends meets.
  • Foregone Conclusion: Jenifer died after being interviewed in 2003 and a cure for the disease has still yet to be found in the meantime.
  • "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The ending texts show that Jenifer died in December 16, 2003 after battling the disease for six years and the organization continues to raise money for the cause.
