Nine to Ninety: Have You Had The Conversation?

The film Nine to Ninety challenges the taboo of talking about death through the family of 89 year-old Phyllis Sabatini as she wrestles with tough decisions in her search to grow old.

Nine to Ninety is not your average love story. But it is a story for our times. Phyllis and Joe Sabatini have been together 65 years. At ages 89 and 90, they live at home with their daughter Sarah and nine-year-old granddaughter Jacqueline.

But as the family struggles to make ends meet and the grandparents’ health problems escalate, they are forced to make a difficult decision that will surprise viewers. The choice leads them all to consider: What does it take to live, love, and die with dignity and grace in the modern age?

There are two screenings of Nine to Ninety – brought to you by AARP New Hampshire, Endowment for Health and others – in Concord and Hanover. Seats are limited and registration is required. The events are free and open to the public. Here are the details:
