Lives well lived, at every age | Sky Bergman

Live Long and Master Aging

Sky Bergman's film, Lives Well Lived, explored the joys of growing old, the value of wisdom, and the appreciation of life. Through interviews with people aged 75 and older, the documentary highlighted the resilience, sense of joy and positivity that come with age.

The film has now evolved into a book, Lives Well Lived Generations, where Sky shares her personal journey of embracing aging, cherishing every wrinkle and gray hair, and fostering connections across generations. She explores the significance of meaningful conversations between young and older individuals, combating ageism, and promoting mutual understanding.
The documentary and book aim to inspire others to appreciate life, engage with different age groups, and recognize the value of shared experiences. In this interview we discuss how Sky's work has reshaped her understanding of life while nurturing a positive attitude towards aging and living fully in the moment.
