Documentarian Sam Green conducts a decade-long exploration pursuing the successive holders of the world’s oldest living person. As the title passes from one supercentenarian to the next, Green meets each new record holder (and confirms with Guinness World Records), his personal fascination with what the title means becomes entangled with milestones in his own life. What begins as a portrait of longevity becomes a poignant meditation on the passage of time, the randomness of fate, and the joy and profound human experience of being alive. “A soft and gentle hug of a film (about) life’s most sacred values while retaining the essential mystery behind our most pressing questions.” –Screen Rant
