Description: Program 5, Late adulthood (Ages 60+). A variety of case studies look at the last stage of development when people consider whether the story of their life has been a good one. The significance of grand parents and their grand children is explored. The program also examines the current trend for people to work well beyond the usual "retirement" age or to live dreams that were impossible to achieve when they were younger.
