Simply put, this delightful documentary portrays aging in a positive and inspired light! Lives Well Lived highlights that it is never too late to learn, dream and grow and throughout the film maker does a beautiful job of reminding us that older adults are a valuable and meaningful source of wisdom.

Stemming from the idea that everyone has their own definition of a life well lived, it encourages the audience to make every effort to unearth others’ stories and reflect.

The cast of older adults proves that age isn’t so much a number, but a culmination of accomplishments, trials, and lessons learned along the way. A unique view of the true essence of aging and time!

Furthermore, the 40 older men and women (age 75-103, but still very young at heart) interviewed were such a joy to watch and listen to. They exuded positivity, an eagerness to embrace each day, a desire to learn, a sense of wonder, contentment.

In closing, if we could all watch the documentary and follow their examples, what happy people we would be and what a very special place we would inhabit! HIGHLY recommended! This is a Widescreen Presentation (1.78:1) enhanced for 16x9 TVs.
