Detailed Description

Through this project, I have made an effort to understand the realm of old age and how it speaks to the younger generation. The project eventually culminates making a film which speaks of the struggles faced by the abandoned elderly and the caretakers in old age homes. The film aims at encouraging the younger generation to open their hearts to the struggles of the elderly, and take notice of the innocence that comes with old age, a quality which could eventually be a source of joy to many such people young people, who themselves are struggling through today’s fast paced ways of life with a hardened heart. At the core of this project, I have tried to re access the evolution of my relationship with my grandparents, take a closer look at similar experiences of my peers and the elderly themselves, and articulate the learnings either through personal or a third person’s point of view that could speak to one’s sensibilities
