Summary |
*Adult Themes, Nudity**This program depicts surgical procedures*What would you do to look young again? In Make Me Young: Youth Knows No Pain, screening as part of the Sunday Best season of feature length documentaries, an age-obsessed daughter of a plastic surgeon (filmmaker Mitch McCabe) takes a journey through America's $60 billion a year anti-aging world.In this Alice-in-Wonderland tale, McCabe spends two years travelling across America visiting doctors, experts and living with a cross-section of characters from Minnesota to Texas who've gone to varying lengths to 'beat the clock', painting a funny but troubling portrait of a country that desperately needs to stay forever young. Along the way, one wonders if the filmmaker herself hasn't been pulled in by the seduction of youth.PRODUCTION DETAILS:HBO DOCUMENTARY FILMS Presents An Open Pictures and Chipped Nail Polish Productions Film. and Produced by MITCH MCCABE Produced by LINDA CHIU and KATHLEEN ROSENBLOOM |
