Synopsis

'Woke up one morning. Age was on my mind.' Amy Gorman Amy Gorman and Frances Kandl journey throughout the San Francisco Bay Area searching for female role models--very old women, still active artists, living with zest. While Amy chronicles their oral histories, Frances is inspired to compose songs for several of these women, many well past 90, culminating in concerts celebrating lives liberated by age. Do these elders energize themselves through their art, craft and musicianship? Whatever their degree of talent, they all embrace a daily routine in which their special art form is an essential part. Each woman is spirited and resilient - interpreting for herself a life worth living into the ninth decade and beyond. This documentary leads us to the realization that we all can uncover and act upon our own inner passions and follow them with heart and soul. Well into our old age we can wake up each morning and live fully in the here and now, just like the women in 'Still Kicking.'
