Manage episode 480690392 series 3516568
In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode of Meaning and Moxie After 50, Leslie Maloney sits down with acclaimed filmmaker and photographer Sky Bergman, whose award-winning documentary Lives Well Lived celebrates the voices and life lessons of older adults. Inspired by her own grandmother’s wisdom and vitality, Sky set out to capture the stories of people aged 75 and older who continue to live with purpose, joy, and resilience. Through her lens, she invites us to rethink aging—not as a decline, but as a time rich with meaning, connection, and legacy.
Sky shares the behind-the-scenes journey of creating Lives Well Lived, the emotional impact it had on audiences, and her passion for preserving intergenerational stories. Together, she and Leslie explore the role of storytelling in combating ageism, the importance of valuing older voices in our society, and how we can all contribute to a more age-positive culture. Whether you're navigating your own later chapters or supporting someone who is, this episode will inspire you to embrace aging with intention and curiosity.
