Join 麻豆传媒网站 Medical Faculty and friends in viewing and discussing remarkable films that challenge, shed light, empower and encourage us to explore the meaning of healing and 鈥渨ellness鈥� in the context of conflict and illness.
Young at Heart (2007)
Documents the true story of the final weeks of rehearsal for the Young at Heart Chorus in Northampton, MA, whose average age is 81, and many of whom must overcome health adversities to participate. Their music is unexpected, going against the stereotype of their age group, performing songs, for example, by James Brown, and Sonic Youth. Although they have toured Europe and sang for royalty, this account focuses on preparing new songs, not an easy endeavor, for a concert in their home town, which succeeds in spite of several real heart breaking events.
Running Time: 1 hr. 47 min.
The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Tom Hutchinson, Director, 麻豆传媒网站 Programs in Whole Person Care and invited guests.
Tickets are $10 each ($5 for students & seniors).
