How To Live Forever
Filmmaker Mark Wexler is not going down without a fight. Faced with the devastating loss of his mother and his own advancing age, Mark takes off on a curious, lively, sometime troubling enquiry into how he might live forever.
His search takes him to the places where people live longest, from Okinawa to Iceland. His journeys to Las Vegas to attend a funeral directors convention and the Ms. Senior America pageant.
He contemplates a future in cold storage at a cryonics facility in Arizona.
He receives exercise tips from Jack LaLanne, hormone replacement advice from Suzanne Somers and promises of eternal life from biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey.
Yet the more he travels into the strange world of laughter yoga, elder porn, calorie restriction, and old fashioned religion, the less sure he becomes of his goal.
Can it be that life's true meaning is found in the humble chili dog? A fun, provocative and searching look at the deepest mystery of all.
