Young At Heart - A Chorus Full Of Life

The story
A documentary on a chorus of senior citizens from Massachusetts who cover songs by Jimi Hendrix, Coldplay, Sonic Youth, and other unexpected musicians.

Why this story inspired me
It shows what happens when old people (the average age of the choir members is about 80) are willing to keep exploring new experiences together. The chorus gives them a goal (performances), friends (the chorus members) and a chance to keep an open mind (the leader of the chorus practices songs with the members that they sometimes hate at the beginning but grow to like).

What I hope sharing this story will lead to
I hope that more people will watch this documentary and see for themselves how great life can be for older people if they have something to do that makes them feel alive.
