Starting a Movie Career in Retirement: This American Life

ThisAmericanLife
At Burbank Senior Arts Colony, retirees don't want to engage in recreational activities for no reason. They want to turn their hobbies into fame. When 63-year-old Suzanne writes her first screenplay, many of the Colony senior citizens team up to hire a director, shoot their movie, and enter it into the annual Sundance Film Festival.

Inspired by the award-winning Chicago Public Radio show of the same name,
"This American Life" travels the country in search of compelling stories
told by everyday people in their own words - with a little help from host
and series creator Ira Glass. Each episode features a quirky cast of
characters, from a cloned Brahman bull to a Chicago hot dog vendor, brought
together by the unique theme that connects their unforgettable tales.

Watch "This American Life" on Mondays at 10/9c on Current TV.
