More than a decade in the making, documentarian Sam Green returns with a charming, deeply-felt portrait of the world’s oldest living person—a title that changes hands several times throughout the film. Profiling a succession of record holders, Green captures the wit, grit, and humor that accompany extraordinary longevity. The result is both a moving reflection on the passage of time and a joyful celebration of life.
