Three incredible women, aged 88-102, living in a home for the active elderly, share their memories, hopes, and passions, while they keep writing, campaigning, and finishing crosswords...
Meet Rose, 101, the oldest newspaper columnist in the world; Hetty, 102, still marching against war; and Alison, 88, Communist Party member turned self-styled ‘establishment lady’. They are residents of a remarkable home for the active elderly in London. Passionate, purposeful and articulate, they speak honestly from the end of life, sharing their unique perspectives in this heart-warming and inspirational film.
