The Elders: Costa Rica Blue Zone Centenarians

This film travels to Costa Rica's Nicoya Peninsula, one of the world's celebrated Blue Zones, to meet centenarians who have lived past a hundred years. It goes beyond the usual talk of diet, sleep, and exercise to hear the life stories of the elders themselves and what has sustained them. The emotional weight comes from these long lives told in their own words, set against a landscape of unusual longevity. A moving watch for anyone interested in healthy aging, longevity, and the secrets of the Blue Zones. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
