My First Hundred Years

Description

Naomi Fell, expert in helping confused old-old people, acts out with a studio audience all life’s stages, from birth to old age. She makes ageing profound and exciting, and documents the need to wrap up loose ends before we reach old age. Shows how to grow old gracefully, stay mentally aware, and how to help confused relatives and friends: how to understand the wisdom and poetry that comes with old age.

This film made in 1989 reflects the cultural attitudes, social work procedures and language of the time it was made. The imagery and film quality may not be to modern standards. But the issues raised are timeless.
