Description:
Humana hosts a community screening of the award-winning documentary "Age of Champions" on September 19th at The Lyric Theatre.

Age of Champions is the uplifting story of five competitors who sprint, leap, and swim for gold at the National Senior Olympics. You'll meet a 100 year-old tennis champion, 86 year-old pole vaulter, and rough-and-tumble basketball grandmothers who battle to overcome the limitations of age and discover the resilience of the human spirit.

The film premiered to a standing ovation at the prestigious Silverdocs Film Festival and has since shown at more than 500 venues around the world. The Washington Post called the film "infectiously inspiring" and its characters have been featured in major media outlets including ABC, CBS, PBS, and NPR.

This is a free event and no reservations are needed.
