Jack is a legend in the real cowboy world – the world where they actually work with cows and ride horses – He’s one of the most prolific artists in the western folk art of cowboy poetry. In his 90s, he still rides a tractor to cut the hay on his ranch in northern Nevada.
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.
