There’s a documentary film being produced in Toronto with an uplifting premise.
The film company has brought several young people into retirement homes to teach seniors how to navigate the Internet.
Brenda Rusnak is the producer of Cyber Seniors, a documentary that pairs young people with older adults.
“Cyber Seniors program is young people, students, teaching senior citizens how to use the Internet,” Rusnak said.
Director Saffron Cassaday is choosing the moments of revelation for the seniors.
“They learn how to use YouTube, how to reconnect with family through Skype, Facebook and e-mail,” Cassaday said.
There’s already some of the uplifting moments on YouTube. See video below:
