The Busine$$ of Aging(2021)

series - first aired/released 2021-03-03

Directed by Denys Desjardins

How do we treat elderly Quebecers, and how should we treat them? L'industrie de la vieillesse tackles this delicate but crucial topic that has become all the more urgent during the pandemic, as CHSLDs crack under the weight of the coronavirus crisis. Based on numerous interviews and carefully avoiding hypocritical positions, the web series calls out a broken funding system, questions the practice of moving elderly people rather than delivering services to them, and suggests some possible solutions as a neglected demographic continues to grow.
