An ORDINARY BEAUTIFUL LIFE - simple living

Wrinkles, lines, scars - there are many ways that time leaves its mark on our bodies. Yet mainstream culture dreads getting older - we are urged to fight the ageing process, and many feel pressure to lie about their age. But as Betty Friedan famously said: “Ageing is not ’lost youth’ but a new stage of opportunity and strength.“ With age can come confidence, and freedom to realize who we really are. As we age, we grow into a deeper kind of beauty, one which works its way from the inside out. It’s a more authentic beauty because it radiates from within. So let’s celebrate lives well lived. And feel lucky to wake each morning to appreciate what the new day has to offer. Filmed in McGregor, South Africa. Featuring Annie Norgarb. All of our films are made possible through the generous support of our patrons.

We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human.
