Arts for the Aging, Inc. (AFTA) Announces
Do Not Go Gently
Documentary narrated by Walter
Cronkite was screened at the Corcoran Gallery of Art to a sold
out audience
Thursday, May 10, 2007 at 7:00
P.M.
“This documentary
challenges the outdated notion that people who reach a certain
age have nothing left to contribute. America’s seniors, like
those highlighted in Do Not Go Gently, have had decades
to master skills and garner accomplishments, often rendering
them our best leaders and innovators. The film also emphasizes
how mutually beneficial it is for seniors to continue exercising
their creative force—both to the society that reaps the benefits
of their creations, and to the elderly whose quality of life is
maintained.”
~U.S. Senator
Herb Kohl (WI), Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on
Aging
