Workshop 5: Retirement on Trial: Why Won’t Some People Retire, or Even Talk About It?
Join this workshop for the screening of the documentary, Retirement on Trial. Set in the context of a court trial and motorcycle journey, this captivating and humorous film documents one lawyer’s struggle to find guidance in preparing himself for the significant psychological life transition of retirement. The workshop will stimulus both self-reflection and public discourse on this often-feared transition and the many opportunities it presents. The 50-minute documentary is followed by a panel discussion, including AFCC members who are wrestling with retirement.
