These men and women open the vault on their intimate memories and inspiring personal triumphs and tragedies, loves and losses as they journey into old age, having seen the best and worst of humanity along the way to learning what it means to live a meaningful life.
In conjunction with the Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival.
