Abstract
Content: This documentary presents an unprecedented contemporary look at women and aging in America. Acting our Age introduces six women, aged 65 to 75, and through their stories of personal struggle and triumph, the film dispels the myths and challenges the stereotypes which have defined the image of old women in American culture. As they speak openly about sexuality, being alone, financial difficulties and dealing with death, their straight-forward responses reconstruct our expectations about aging and provide insight into the concerns and lives of "real" old women.
