This documentary was too short. You will fall in love with the real people that blesses us by sharing their memories and experiences from the close of the 19th Century, to the dawning of the 21st Century. All interviewees were born in 1900 or earlier and they are magnificent! They willingly share their experiences that were touched by joy, sadness, loss, hope, struggle and happiness. Some with twinges of regret, but all with a passion for life.They discuss their early childhood, schooling, teenage years, exploration with the opposite sex, war, social restrictions, depression, dawn of the automobile and aeroplane, advancement of technology, family life, and so much more... I was riveted to all they said. It underlined my own mortality and caused an introspection of what is important.The only criticism was that the program was too short. I found myself wanting them to dedicate an entire hour to talking about one event of the early 1900's or their feelings and experiences just after World War II etc.I would say that many of those interviewed would have passed on in the years since 'A Century of Living' was filmed, and after hearing and seeing them, I for one feel more enlightened, but also saddened by their passing. But the joy is that their wisdom and fragment of life that filled and made who we are now, is forever captured on film for us that live on to encompass, learn and enjoy.
