New PBS Documentary Fast-Forward Aired Nationally

Fast Forward 560x300 tunein premiering march v1

"Fast-Forward," a documentary, that follows four millennials and their baby boomer parents through an “aging boot camp” premiered March 24 on PBS.

The 60-minute film narrated by Rosario Dawson inspires viewers to see their future in a whole new light and have critical conversations with their families about how they can maximize their choices and well-being throughout life. Wearing an MIT-produced “aging empathy suit” and working with professional make-up artists, the film's subjects grapple with the realizations, conversations and mindset required to age successfully.

Next Avenue has partnered with the film to produce courses and a digital toolkit of resources, including step-by-step instructions and a master checklist, designed to help viewers prepare their own aging plans.



The John A. Hartford Foundation and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation provided major funding for the film.
