An interview with Dorcas, my 5th grade elementary school teacher. She’s one of a handful of educators in my life who I can immediately point to and say “you helped make me what I am today.” I was glad she agreed to be a part of The Elders documentary project.
Enjoy this short snippet from her longer interview.
Through the eyes of an aging generation, The Elders examines what it really means to live, by coming of age. This website is dedicated to showcasing the stories filmed and the filmmaker's journey to film them.
A feature-length documentary, The Elders uses stylized interview portraits of elderly individuals to tell a universal story about life's most important lessons. Thematically organized around life lessons that reflect a wide range of human emotion and experience, the film seeks to reveal a larger more complex portrait of our shared humanity.
