Is society giving them the old heave-ho? A multimedia project examines the hopes and fears of the largest generation of senior citizens the world has ever known — through the eyes of elders from 10 countries on six continents. They share feelings of being overlooked and undervalued by younger generations while worrying about financing their remaining years. And yet, these seniors are active and engaged — defying soap-opera-watching stereotypes. And they belong to an over-65 demographic that is surpassing children under 5, a shift that promises daunting global social, economic and moral challenges.
