Ripening:
Thoughts about ageing and ageism. |
Ripening is a video that presents a rich tapestry of voices and images on the subjects of ageing and ageism. The video explores the thoughts and experiences of twelve uniquely diverse individuals. They range from 8 to 85 years of age. Positive about their own ageing but concerned about ageism in its many guises, they speak thoughtfully from their personal experience. Tied together by the viewpoint of the filmmaker on the verge of his 40th birthday, the video is visually beautiful and includes excerpts from an interview with Meridel LeSueur. The narrative unwinds like a poem and provides perspectives that will resonate with an audience diverse in age and gender. Ripening is intended to launch discussion and help facilitate a much-needed dialogue about the way ageism impacts all of us.
