This video unfolds the real-life story of the clash of emotions between a mother who has had a stroke and her daughters as they struggle to find a balance between the daughter's concern for her safety and the mother's desire to make her own choices and live her own life. Curtain Call effectively and emotionally engages the viewer with questions of risk and protection, autonomy and independence, family dynamics, and the roles of caregivers as well as the broader questions of aging and meaning and the struggle for independence in later life. |

"Curtain Call is impactful and instructive, a useful resource for caregiver support groups, students of gerontology, health care providers, and those of us who are aging and must attempt to make wise decisions now for our futures."
Catherine F. Siffen, Educational Consultant
Indiana University Center on Aging and Aged
"This compelling story is framed against the backdrop of a play, written by the daughter, and starring the mother and a group of older women. The film draws in the voices of these other actresses, to enrich a moving portrayal of how old age presents new challenges to even the most vital of older people."
Madeline Iris, Ph.D., Associate Director
