Abstract:

"With the filmmaker's assistance, the residents of a home for South Asian elderly shoot their own video. They interview a wide range of subjects--from people on the streets to members of Parliament. This spirited video reveals generational attitudes, cross-cultural values and everyday problems faced by older, often neglected citizens. Ultimately, with passion and dignity, they prove that it's never too late to take matters into your own hands."
