The directorial debut of award-winning photographer and filmmaker Sky Bergman, Lives Well Lived celebrates the incredible wit, wisdom and experiences of adults aged 75 to 100 years old. Through their intimate memories and inspiring personal histories encompassing over 3,000 years of experience, forty people share their secrets and insights to living a meaningful life. These men and women open the vault on their journey into old age through family histories, personal triumph and tragedies, loves and losses -- seeing the best and worst of humanity along the way. Their stories will make you laugh, maybe cry, but mostly inspire you.
A 56-minute film, Lives Well Lived will be screened online beginning Friday, February 19 and run through Wednesday, February 24. Registrants will be sent a private link to watch the film at any time during the six day period. To register, visit www.fairfieldhistory.org/liveswelllived.
