Wrinkles, lines, scars there are many ways that time leaves its mark on our bodies. Yet mainstream culture dreads getting older we are urged to fight the ageing process, and many feel pressure to lie about their age. But as Betty Friedan famously said: "Ageing is not 'lost youth' but a new stage of opportunity and strength."

With age can come confidence, and freedom to realize who we really are. As we age, we grow into a deeper kind of beauty, one which works its way from the inside out. It’s a more authentic beauty because it radiates from within. So let’s celebrate lives well lived. And feel lucky to wake each morning to appreciate what the new day has to offer.

Filmed in McGregor, South Africa.
Featuring Annie Norgarb.

In collaboration with iNous, we recently released a beautiful deck of 52 cards each card containing a quote from one of our films, paired with the activating visual muses of Lanon Prigge. The aim of this deck is to rekindle childlike curiosity and creativity, helping to navigate the shared waters of our human experience with grace and joy.

Who is Reflections of Life? We are Justine and Michael (previously known as Green Renaissance). We use our passion for filmmaking and our love of storytelling, to remind our audience of one simple truth – that we are all human. The more that we understand and believe in this interconnectedness, the more we will treat ourselves, one another, and planet earth with a greater sense of compassion.
