Sharon Farmer, Siila Watt-Cloutier, and Kathrine Switzer: respectively, the first woman (and person) of colour to become the official White House photographer; the first woman to launch legal action against the US Government over climate change; and the first woman to run the Boston marathon. Stacey Tenenbaum’s documentary doesn’t just commemorate these women’s past achievements, but celebrates their continuing commitment to political action and the art of living in their 70s. This is an inspiring film full of remarkable stories.
