The remarkable lives and dreams of Australia's 'The 100+ Club' - the world's only social club for centenarians.The world's only social club for centenarians, The 100+ Club, has some remarkable members on its books. At a time in their lives when most people have long given up on chasing dreams, Ruth (101), Olive (103) and Dexter (a spring chicken at 100) are on a mission to complete some unfinished business.Ruth - the planet's oldest competing athlete - is out to break her own world throwing records.All-round entertainer Olive is determined to stage one last performance, while outback author Dexter hopes to finish his fifth and quite possibly last book.Most centenarians insist they're not terribly special ("age is just a couple of numbers on a piece of paper") but as The 100+ Club reveals, there's nothing at all ordinary about this group of Australians.PRODUCTION DETAILS:Screen Queensland and Flickchicks in association with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) present THE 100+ CLUB. Written and directed by Mandy Lake. Produced by Margie Brown; Executive Producer of Compass: Rose Hesp |
