Have you ever wondered what secrets lie behind the lives of centenarians—those who have lived through a century of change, outliving so many others, and what their lives can teach us about being alive?

Come join me as we watch THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD, a fascinating journey across different parts of the world and through the passage of time, as we meet those who have held the remarkable title of the world’s oldest person alive.

IMPORTANT: GET YOUR TICKETS. This is the last day of the movie and I expect it to be sold out. Protected content

“A soft and gentle hug of a film, one that reifies life's most sacred values while retaining the essential mystery behind our most pressing questions.” - Gregory Nussen, Screen Rant

“A consistently surprising, deeply personal and strangely exhilarating exploration of what it means to be alive.” - Oliver Jones, Observer

THE OLDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD is a decade-long odyssey chronicling the ever-changing record holders of the title of oldest person alive. As the title inevitably passes from one supercentenarian to the next, director Sam Green traverses the globe to meet each new title holder, his personal fascination with what the title means becoming entangled with events and 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.
