Introduction to Fast-Forward: Look Into Your Future

2m 39s

Meet four families from across America who took part in a week long “aging boot-camp” filled with immersive experiences such as special effects make-up, an MIT designed and developed aging empathy suit, and doctors visits — all designed to encourage the families to think about aging, plan for the future, and discuss their hopes and fears amongst each other.

Original production funding for Fast-Forward was provided by The John A. Hartford Foundation and The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Fast-Forward is a production of FLX Entertainment in association with TPT|Twin Cities PBS, in partnership with Next Avenue.
