"The soul is healed by being with children." -- Fyodor Dostoyevsky
All We Have Is Now
Growing up and growing old sounds like a logical notion but it also appears to be a surreal process that we don't realise is happening until it has happened. This trailer for "Present Perfect," gives you a glimpse into a yet-to-be released film which explores the very real experience of aging in America. Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle, Washington, is home to more than 400 elderly residents and it is also home to a pre-school. Documenting the interactions of the very young and the very old, this film asks what it is these two groups can offer each other while affirming the power of human connection.
BE THE CHANGE
Is there an elderly person that you know or who you see around from time to time in your neighborhood? Pop in to see them for a chat and a cup of tea or ask them out for a walk in the sun.
