Coming of Age (2011. Directed by Celia Turley). Faced with the prospect of spending their remaining years living alone, a group of women from across London have come together to set up ‘OWCH’ – standing for ‘Older Women’s Co-Housing’, the first project of its kind in the UK. This film follows two members of the project as they reflect upon the ageing process
20 minutes viewing followed by discussion.
The GTC Medical Anthropology Film and Discussion Group explores the extent to which film can complement, enrich and further the study of medical anthropology themes, topics and methods.
After watching selected clips, the group discuss a film’s content and approach, and interrogate its capacity to support the analysis of issues relating to illness, crisis, health and wellbeing.
