Plot Summary
Inspired by the idea that one of the greatest gifts one generation can give to another is the wisdom gained from experience, multi-award-winning filmmaker and photographer, Andrew Zuckerman, traveled the globe to interview more than fifty of the world’s most prominent writers, artists, designers, actors, politicians, and religious and business leaders – all over the age of sixty-five. The resulting film captures their voices, physical presences, words and ideas, providing an extraordinary legacy for the generations that follow and a timeless portrait of the universalities that connect us all.

Wisdom
Apparently only men have wisdom. The interviews were 90% male and lacking any depth. Very disappointing.
Some can be found here ...
Some can be found here, but you need a farily high tolerance for BS. Politicians and actors as the source of wisdom? I'm sorry, but both provide a great deal of static to the intended message. For all that I would have needed to know is this: The filmmakers considered Nick Nolte to be a source of wisdom. Really! No, not in any ironic way, either.
Politicalism
Ummm....it seemed to go in a nice direction at first, but then dwindled to the usually tone of opinionated political garbage
