Documentary Screening: Optics of Aging
Please join us for a screening of Optics of Aging. A Q&A with the director, Michelle Le Brun, will follow the screening.
In Optics of Aging stereotypes of ageism dissolve as the beauty of aging is revealed through five elders who have shaped the culture and political landscape of Rhode Island and beyond. Their voices take flight against the backdrop of archival imagery that captures the vision of an earlier time of vast sociocultural change.
