But when a life-changing event occurs, he meets a group of “Elders” whose totally new perspective on aging illuminates another possibility. Observe Samuel’s personal transformation as he changes his outlook on life towards mastery and purpose. He discovers how he can contribute the gifts of age—wisdom, perspective and experience—to others in a way that brings out the best in them.
