Jim Gilliam sits with his back board-stiff against the headrest of his bed, his legs dangling off the end. That’s life when you’re 6-foot-9. He has no hair, and he’s about as white as they make white guys. He’s not making a fashion statement, not trying to replace the lead singer of Midnight Oil. The breathing tube under his nose might have been your first clue.

Gilliam is the 28-year-old producer of Robert Greenwald’s Uncovered: The War on Iraq (2004), Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch’s War on Journalism (2004), Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005), the just-released The Big Buy: Tom DeLay’s Stolen Congress and, coming in mid-September, Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers. Gilliam’s worsening fibrosis—he has only 17 percent lung capacity—has forced him to work on the latest Greenwald projects from his parents’ third-story condo overlooking Newport Harbor. He’s awaiting a donor who can provide two healthy lungs.
