Below is video of Roger Ebert’s recent appearance at the TED Talk conference. Throughout the presentation, entitled “Remaking My Voice”, he provides remarkably candid and personal insight into his devastating battle with thyroid cancer. Post-surgical complications led to Ebert being unable to speak, eat or drink. He discusses how he came to cope with this new reality and shares with the audience his quest to find a satisfactory new means of communication powered by modern technology.
Chris Jones’ profile of Ebert for Esquire serves as a perfect companion piece.
