About the Documentary

Maggie Kuhn (1905-1995) founded the Gray Panthers after being forced to leave the workforce at the age of 65, in what Ralph Nader describes as “the most significant retirement in history.” It galvanized Maggie’s campaign against mandatory retirement and ageism. Her outrage fueled a political chain reaction that left society’s treatment of older Americans forever changed.
