Be Inspired and Celebrate Life At Any Age
San Juan Regional Medical Center will host the feature documentary, Age of Champions, at the Totah Theater (315 West Main Street in Farmington, New Mexico) on Saturday, January 18, 2014 at 1:00 p.m. with a special appearance by film director, Chris Rufo. All ages are encouraged and invited to attend the film which shares the importance of celebrating life at any age. Those in attendance are also invited to sign up for the 2014 Goosebump Race (Saturday, February 22).
Age of Champions is the inspirational story of a group of athletes—a 100-year-old tennis champion, 86-year-old pole-vaulter, team of basketball grandmothers, and a pair of swimming brothers—all chasing gold at the National Senior Olympics. The film captures the triumphant spirit of these competitors as they tackle the challenges of old age with grace, humor, and optimism.
Age of Champions made its world premiere at the 2011 Silverdocs Film Festival and was heralded by the Washington Post as “infectiously inspiring.” Athletes featured in the film have received wide attention from the national media, including NBC Evening News, CNN, The Regis & Kelly Show, ABC News, NPR, and a cover story in Washington Post magazine.
“Age of Champions shares an important story that life should be celebrated at any age,” says Film Producer, Keith Ochwat. “We are honored to partner with San Juan Regional Medical Center as we share the film with communities across the country.”
Immediately following the Age of Champions premiere, Film Director, Chris Rufo, will participate in a question and answer session with the audience and will be available for interview.
