The New Documentary โAging in Americaโ Shows How Far Weโve Come.
Director Neil Steinberg tells AARP what society is doing for the 50-plus: โAgeism is a bit better, but homelessness is worseโ.

The documentary Aging in America: Survive or Thrive, narrated by Martin Sheen, 84 (on PBS starting in early May; check local listings), celebrates the encouraging progress society has made in dealing with aging as well as the daunting challenges still faced by a rapidly aging population. In 1975 there were 25 million Americans over 65; today itโs more than doubled to 55 million, and in 10 years the 65-plus will outnumber those under 18 for the first time. Director Neil Steinberg tells AARP what we can learn from the expert testimony and personal stories featured in the film, how far weโve come in dealing with aging and what remains to be done.
