Documentaries about Very Old People, 2018-2019



In May 2019, we have two new documentaries about very elderly people:  Werner Herzog's Meeting Gorbachev, and a new documentary Ask Dr. Ruth  / Ruth Westheimer.

But if we roll back a year, there have been several more documentaries about the very elderly. 

The most prominent by far was RBG, about Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  But see also Pope Francis: A Man of His Word, but Wim Wenders, and Wait For Your Laugh, about the remarkable life of actress Rose Marie, performing from age 4 until her 90s.
