Film by PRIAE www.priae.org -- 28 minutes BAFTA Launched
Do black and minority ethnic elders simply put their feet up as they approach old age? Is it true that they are only concerned with care issues? Meet 5 elders in this film who will convince you otherwise. And they are not exceptions. The purpose of Playing Our Part After 50 is to show the contribution of black and minority ethnic elders in different walks of life and to use it as an example to encourage others to show that helping, contributing and volunteering matters.
"Do not ask what society can do for you, but what you can do for society is the message that the 'ethnic elders' interviewed in this film unfailingly convey...it is a gift which we dare not accept lightly" -- A. Sivanandan, Institute of Race Relations. A guide accompanies the film.
