 Longevity
Director Mark Wexler embarks on a worldwide trek to investigate just what it means to grow old and what it could mean to really live forever.  Wexler contrasts a series of unusual characters with the insights of health, fitness and life-extension experts in his engaging documentary, which challenges our notions of youth and aging with comic poignancy.
From the in-case-you-missed-it files comes a film that looks at the lighter side of gerontology.  

In the film, How To Live Forever, director Mark Wexler embarks on a worldwide trek to investigate just what it means to grow old and what it could mean to really live forever. But whose advice should he take? Does 94-year-old exercise guru Jack LaLanne have all the answers, or does Buster, a 101-year-old chain-smoking, beer-drinking marathoner? What about futurist Ray Kurzweil, a laughter yoga expert, gerontologist Aubrey de Grey, or an elder porn star?

Wexler explores the viewpoints of delightfully unusual characters alongside those of health, fitness and life-extension experts in this engaging documentary, which challenges our notions of youth and aging with comic poignancy. Begun as a study in life-extension, How to Live Forever evolves into a thought-provoking examination of what truly gives life meaning.
