Have you seen the documentary Young @ Heart? If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area you should watch it tonight on KQED at 9 pm. KQED, San Francisco’s public television station is airing the great documentary as part of its Independent Lens series. Learn more about the Young @ Heart on KQED’s website.
If you’re a fan of The Clash, The Ramones, Coldplay, James Brown, Lee Dorsey and people singing songs that they love (or at the very least love to sing), this film is for you. It is a GREAT example of people engaging as they age. The documentary chronicles a group of seniors (with an average age of 81) preparing for a concert in Northampton, MA. The film chronicles how many of the participants had to overcome health obstacles to participate.
At Engage As You Age we come to the homes of older adults and elders and engage them in what they love. We’re able to help whether you or a loved one love to sing like the seniors in Young @ Heart or want someone to read to you or teach how to get up and running on a computer.
Below is the trailer of the film:
