Never before in human history has our planet contained so many elderly people, or such a large percentage of them. And from the look of things, 80 might just be the new 50. Across eight episodes, Super Octogenarians track down spunky seniors who are working way past their retirement age, and redefining the very idea of ‘old’. Beyond the mere notion of active aging, healthy living and meaningful post-retirement life, we travel across Asia to see and hear how these gutsy seniors debunk the stock images we have of the elderly. In each episode, the producers pair up one of Asia’s most prolific photographers with one of these super octogenarians. The photographer’s task: to come up with a series of photographs based around the theme NEVER TOO OLD. They befriend each other, and the young come to see the world through the eyes of the old. The end result is often heartwarming as it is meaningful.
