"Over 90 And Loving It" profiles an inspirational group of people in their 90s and 100s who continue to lead full and passionate lives. The documentary introduces a wide range of engaging characters — from a legendary folk singer to a senior Olympian to a New York City taxi-cab driver.

Each interviewee offers pearls of wisdom about achieving and sustaining a happy life, regardless of age.

They discuss the benefits of keeping physically active; maintaining a positive attitude; embracing maturity; staying curious about the future but engaged in the present; making a difference in the lives of others; and, ultimately, learning to gracefully accept death as an inevitable part of life.
