Something to think about--our aging society. Soon, half of America will be over 50 — part of a new life stage that acknowledges they’re older, yes, but not “old old.” PBS documentary filmmaker Christine Herbes-Sommers is exploring what’s happening to the growing number of people in this newly created phase: “Who are they, what are they doing, what are their bodies and minds doing? How are they working?” (MORE: Transforming Life As We Age) Her project, Coming of Age in Aging America, seeks to answer those questions in an upcoming documentary. The planned hour-long PBS film (out next year) will be used to spark discussions in cities and towns about what should change in our policies, thinking and behavior around aging. This four-minute video brilliantly sums up the ideas behind the larger project. It’s worth checking out: https://youtube/watch?v=ZOA1v4-2Fos#t=60
