Ageless Wonders," produced by CAO of WNY, Inc., is a documentary set in Buffalo, NY. It highlights elderly individuals from the Black community who participate in the Senior Program at CAO of WNY. Through their engagement in this program, they share profound dialogues about life, memory, and history, which culminate in evocative portraits. The film not only bridges generational divides but also shines a light on a city undergoing transformation. This collaborative effort of award-winning artists and filmmakers, crafted to industry standards, is slated for showcase at national festivals for a year before being made freely available on various online platforms.
