The Elder Project (Trailer)

The Elder Project follows 7 different seniors over the course of 2 years and records their experiences through a series of short and candid episodic stories. As they face the possibility of increasing frailty and transitioning into more dependant living scenarios, the elders talk of their concerns and eloquently express their desire to grow older with dignity and some control over their future.

      “I I had the chance to watch this documentary in a class with both the producer and the director introducing their film. It's a very moving and touching to see these real and different people, all living in Alberta, telling us about their life at a moment when they are all retired and trying to make the most for the rest of the time they have to live. Having been through the process of placing my mother-in-law in a nursing home because of Alzheimer disease, some stories, resonated more with my own experience with aging parents. I truly recommend this documentary to everybody and especially to people who are interacting with "elderly" very humane people. And most of all THANK YOU to all the people who make this possible and for agreeing to share their intimacy with us. Doris”
