the richness of aging through the lens of film. The films portray stories about the
lives, challenges, and triumphs of older adults. Each film offers thoughtful conversation
about aging, identity, and the experiences that shape us. Not only are films excellent sources of entertainment, but they also offer valuable
opportunities for learning, connection, and reflection, and a touch of Blue Zones.
Please watch Victoria and Abdul (2017) by Stephen Frears before the discussion.
