Young @ Heart

While viewing this, I was struck by how rare it is to see seniors depicted in a motion picture, en masse. They are generally the "avoided generation" in films. You will be thankful that director Stephen Walker invested the time to document the Young@Heart chorus. This beloved Massachusetts choir is comprised of members 70 years old and above. Every member has stories to tell. The film is more of a meditation on old age, death, and the passage of time than a simple music documentary. It is truly heartbreaking to witness members of the chorus struggling with the challenges of older age. But their resilient spirit is undeniable -- an inspiration. If only more of us could greet each new dawn with the grace and enthusiasm they radiate.
