In Life
A Film about The Art of Living Fully. Can the lives of three artists change our beliefs about aging?
What if aging wasn’t about slowing down—but expanding?
In Life is a powerful documentary that challenges the way we see aging, following three extraordinary artists who continue to create, innovate, and thrive in their later years. Through the stories of writer Betsy Cox, painter Goh Beng Kwan, and pianist Leanne Rees, the film explores how imagination, resilience, and passion fuel lifelong creativity.
As the world’s aging population grows, so does the urgency to reshape our beliefs about what it means to grow older. Research shows that positive perceptions of aging can extend life expectancy by 7.5 years, yet 82% of adults experience ageism daily. Inspired by the groundbreaking work of Yale researcher Becca Levy, In Life offers a bold, new vision—one where aging is not a decline, but a continuation of artistry, expression, and purpose.
Told through intimate video portraits, the film moves fluidly between past and present, revealing the grit, style, and creative drive that propel these artists forward. Their stories remind us that aging isn’t an ending—it’s another beginning.
Directed by Meghan Shea and produced by Persistent Productions, In Life is a celebration of artistry, perseverance, and the limitless possibilities of life at every age. www.inlifefilm.com/
