To illustrate a positive approach to aging, Kicking High...in the Golden Years explores the lives of six African-American senior citizens, filmed in their homes, with their families and in their community. Framed within the rehearsals and final preformance of a stage production, participants reflect upon past experiences and present circumstances, and share some of their emotions and accumulated wisdom.

REVIEWS Mary Beth Morton, M.A.Curriculum Specialist Pensacola Junior College full review "A collage of strength, acceptance, and dignity, coupled with beauty, laughter and love." "This heartwarming, inspirational view of senior citizens focuses on seniors from St. Marks, a church in a black middle-class Queens, New York neighborhood.....The film presents a wonderful view of seniors, content with their past, happy with their present, extending their legacy to younger people. Students, seniors, and those working with seniors would benefit from this excellent film." "A dramatic portrayal of ways of dealing with both the highs and lows of being a 'senior.' It captures the experiences of older Americans realistically and emotionally." "These people are ordinary folk with an extraordinary spirit which helps them face the realities of racism instead of keeping the burden of anger and bitterness inside."
