Sages and Seekers: Bringing the generations together

An intergenerational after-school program in Los Angeles seeks to bridge the generational divide and heal common experiences of loneliness by bringing teens and older adults together.

The generational divide between teens and older adults is typically rather significant.  However, many of the issues both groups face are mutual, including depression and loneliness. An intergenerational after-school program called Sages & Seekers brings older adults (sages) and teens (seekers) together and encourages open discussions.

The documentary follows Madeline Garcia-Nuñez and Geraldine Hurley, a pair who find that they have more in common than they think.
