Award-winning documentary Fast-Forward follows four adult children and their parents as they travel through time to meet their future selves. Wearing an MIT-produced “aging empathy suit” and working with professional make-up artists, they grapple with the realizations, conversations and mindset required to age well. Ultimately, the families learn they have more control over how they age than they thought.

Watch the free screening of Fast-Forward on your own and then join us for a live panel discussion with the documentary’s director and a cast member along with our own AgeWell Baltimore experts.

Moderator: Beth H. Goldsmith, Chair of the Board, The Associated
