This is double his heart rate.

CHRIS: Over the past year,
8
00:00:36,619 --> 00:00:38,830
I've been exploring the scienceof living longer.
9
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:41,666
Doing everything I can to hold back time.
10
00:00:45,628 --> 00:00:50,884
But whatever I do, sooner or later,aging and death will win.
11
00:00:52,844 --> 00:00:54,012
So, what am I going to do about that?
12
00:00:58,266 --> 00:01:00,143
-You're gonna tie me up.
-(ALL CHUCKLE)
13
00:01:00,393 --> 00:01:02,270
This wasn't-- this wasn't in
the initial contract.
14
00:01:02,687 --> 00:01:03,772
Super attractive.
15
00:01:06,357 --> 00:01:09,110
Okay, Chris.
We are gonna attach the weights to it.
16
00:01:09,694 --> 00:01:13,073
CHRIS: Apparently, this is what I'm goingto do about it.
17
00:01:13,615 --> 00:01:17,786
This fashion disaster is what's calledan age simulation suit.
18
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:19,412
Designed at MIT,
19
00:01:19,788 --> 00:01:22,082
it's been precisely calibratedto my physique.
20
00:01:24,542 --> 00:01:26,294
The bungees restrict my movements.
21
00:01:28,004 --> 00:01:30,799
And I'll be carrying an extra 30 poundsaround with me.
22
00:01:32,258 --> 00:01:34,302
And these shoes will make me unbalanced.
23
00:01:36,513 --> 00:01:38,973
I'm doing all this,so that I can experience
24
00:01:39,057 --> 00:01:41,351
how my body will feel in 50 years' time.
25
00:01:43,186 --> 00:01:46,189
I'm really curious to see
how you look at 87.
26
00:01:47,107 --> 00:01:49,776
CHRIS: And my wife, Elsa,is a little too interested.
27
00:01:50,401 --> 00:01:51,820
Hey, you're into this suit,
aren't you? This is...
28
00:01:52,195 --> 00:01:55,073
-Just leave it like that.
-CHRIS: I can wear this on date night.
29
00:01:55,615 --> 00:01:57,117
"No, no, no, don't put
the fireman suit on.
30
00:01:57,242 --> 00:01:59,160
-Put the-- the aging suit on."
-ELSA: Exactly! Put the aging suit...
31
00:02:01,621 --> 00:02:04,374
CHRIS: Counterintuitively,longevity scientists
32
00:02:04,499 --> 00:02:05,625
actually believe that a key
33
00:02:05,750 --> 00:02:09,379
to the longest, healthiest lifemight not be to resist aging,
34
00:02:09,671 --> 00:02:10,922
but to embrace it.

You're gonna lose your hearing.

ELSA: You look ridiculous. (CHUCKLES)

00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:21,099
CHIRS: So, I'm finishing my fightto stay young, by learning how to get old.
38
00:02:21,224 --> 00:02:23,309
FEMALE VOICE: You're gonna lose
a little bit of your vision.
39
00:02:23,518 --> 00:02:24,769
This sucks, by the way.
40
00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:27,105
Okay, Chris.

00:02:43,037 --> 00:02:44,247
CHRIS: All I've been told
46
00:02:44,330 --> 00:02:47,834
is that I'm about tojump forward 50 years into the future
47
00:02:48,668 --> 00:02:52,589
and spend the next three daysliving the life of an octogenarian.

CHRIS: The architectof this strange challenge
51
00:03:07,896 --> 00:03:09,272
is Dr. BJ Miller.
52
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,566
A world-renownedpalliative care physician.
53
00:03:11,983 --> 00:03:15,320
His work centers on unlockingthe transformative power
54
00:03:15,945 --> 00:03:18,489
of accepting aging and death.
55
00:03:18,948 --> 00:03:20,742
Dying offers us something,
56
00:03:20,992 --> 00:03:24,078
we can change how we see it,
what we do with it, how we play with it.
57
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:28,666
BJ: Chris is about to take partin a truly unique experiment.
58

ELSA: Ready, my old man?
59
00:03:32,503 --> 00:03:35,215
I don't know. I mean, ask me
in three days' time, maybe.
60
00:03:36,424 --> 00:03:38,843
We are doing something bold
and novel here.

00:03:42,096 --> 00:03:44,474

63
00:03:44,599 --> 00:03:47,518
to create a completely immersive worldfor Chris.

00:04:03,117 --> 00:04:05,912

we're going to kill Chris Hemsworth.

It's okay. We'll get there.
72
00:04:27,725 --> 00:04:29,227
Maybe you should let me drive.
73
00:04:29,394 --> 00:04:30,520
No way!
74
00:04:30,770 --> 00:04:32,397
I can't see or hear anything.

00:04:44,075 --> 00:04:45,451
This is my new home, huh?

-New best friend.

00:04:56,754 --> 00:04:59,048
CHRIS: So, finally, here we are.And this is what I've been waiting for.
79
00:04:59,173 --> 00:05:00,925
This is my opportunity to beat aging.
80
00:05:01,092 --> 00:05:02,010
Hello.
81
00:05:02,427 --> 00:05:03,594
How hard that can be?
82
00:05:06,180 --> 00:05:10,101
Chris doesn't seem very worried,
but I think he's underestimated old age.
83
00:05:13,229 --> 00:05:17,900
I think he's going to probably want
to get out of there as soon as he can.
84
00:05:24,115 --> 00:05:25,033
This is it.
85
00:05:26,617 --> 00:05:27,618
Okay.

I'm BJ. How's the suit feeling, my guy?
92
00:05:46,596 --> 00:05:48,306
A little heavy and slower
than I used to be, but...
93
00:05:48,639 --> 00:05:50,725
-Right on. That's the idea.
-That the idea.
94
00:05:51,017 --> 00:05:53,144
So, that's the first part
of this immersion.
95
00:05:53,436 --> 00:05:54,896
The second part is-- is this place.
96
00:05:55,313 --> 00:05:56,439
-Yeah.
-Sunset Pines.

00:05:56,522 --> 00:05:59,192

made just for you.

BJ: This is a three-day pieceof immersive theater.
101
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:11,704
It's going to be a little bit surreal.
102
00:06:11,996 --> 00:06:14,332
But there's something very real
about surreal.
103
00:06:15,750 --> 00:06:16,793
Yay!
104
00:06:16,918 --> 00:06:20,671
BJ: All the older people that he's meetingalong the way are entirely real.
105
00:06:21,339 --> 00:06:23,007
And they're there for Christo interact with
106
00:06:23,091 --> 00:06:25,385
and to befriend and to relate with.
107
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:26,761
Aw!
108
00:06:26,928 --> 00:06:30,306
BJ: But the staff of Sunset Pines,the carers are actors.
109
00:06:30,556 --> 00:06:33,184
They are going to treat Chris
as though he is an 87-year-old.
110
00:06:33,309 --> 00:06:34,477
They will not break character.
111
00:06:35,812 --> 00:06:38,147
Apologies for the interruption,
Dr. Miller. Welcome,
112
00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:41,692
Mr. Hemsworth, to Sunset Pines,
where we live every day to the fullest.
113
00:06:41,943 --> 00:06:43,528
My name is Sofia.
I'm one of the carers here.
114
00:06:43,653 --> 00:06:45,279
I'm going to take you in for orientation.
115
00:06:45,363 --> 00:06:47,448
So, I'd like to ask you
to say your goodbyes now.
116
00:06:47,615 --> 00:06:49,992
-See you later.
-See you later.
117
00:06:51,202 --> 00:06:52,078
All right.
118
00:06:52,578 --> 00:06:54,789
Now, are you happy to walk
or would you like a chair?
119
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:57,250
-Yeah, I'm okay to walk.
-SOFIA: Okay, no problem.
120
00:06:57,667 --> 00:07:00,336
Now, it can be a little bit
of an adjustment period
121
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:01,587
here at Sunset Pines.
122
00:07:01,671 --> 00:07:03,881
So, it's totally normal to feel
a little bit
123
00:07:03,965 --> 00:07:05,883
out of place at first,
but I can assure you,
124
00:07:05,967 --> 00:07:08,719
our community are very welcoming
and supportive.
125
00:07:08,886 --> 00:07:11,139
There is a handrail there.
I'll just ask you to use that.

And then you'll be shown up
to your apartment.
131
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:24,861
CHRIS: I mean, this is a wild experience.
132
00:07:25,153 --> 00:07:28,781
I'm kind of trying to piece it together
as I go, but it's--
133
00:07:28,948 --> 00:07:30,324
it's just kind of weird.
134
00:07:30,491 --> 00:07:31,617
-Hi, Joy.
-Hello.
135
00:07:31,742 --> 00:07:33,369

Welcome to Sunset Pines
where we live every day to the fullest.
138
00:07:39,375 --> 00:07:41,169
-Cool.
-So, I'll... I'll put you into our system.
139
00:07:41,294 --> 00:07:43,421
So, if you can just give me a moment.
140
00:07:45,089 --> 00:07:49,343
All right, so, I would just need this...
141
00:07:50,803 --> 00:07:54,515
CHRIS: Wearing the suit,it's just horrible, really uncomfortable.
142
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,808
Everything is heavy.
143
00:07:56,184 --> 00:07:59,353
And I find myself feeling
very restricted.
144
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,357
And then, you know, the lack of vision,
hearing,
145
00:08:03,608 --> 00:08:06,235
I find myself missing 20
to 30 percent of what's being said.
146
00:08:06,611 --> 00:08:11,282
JOY: I just need you to look directly
at the lens, please. All done.
147
00:08:11,365 --> 00:08:13,993
CHRIS: It feels really isolatingbecause everything is,
148
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:16,662
you know, feels somewhat closed off.
149
00:08:17,997 --> 00:08:19,081
BJ: How you doing?
150
00:08:19,790 --> 00:08:20,750
What was that?
151
00:08:20,917 --> 00:08:23,377
-How you doing?
-I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
152
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,964
-I'm feeling a little disorientated.
-Right.
153
00:08:27,048 --> 00:08:28,633
Can't really see properly
or hear properly.
154
00:08:28,799 --> 00:08:31,010
-Well, that's exactly the idea, right?
-Okay.
155
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:35,431
BJ: A big part of the reason to give himthis experience
156
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,728
is we are living amidst an epidemic
of denial that we are denying aging,
157
00:08:40,811 --> 00:08:43,898
older age and we are denying death.
It's a kind of stress.
158
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,610
It's bad for our blood pressure,
it's bad for our hormonal lives,
159
00:08:47,818 --> 00:08:49,612
it's bad for our neurochemistry.
160
00:08:49,862 --> 00:08:52,448
In-- in this way,
there's a physiologic effect directly
161
00:08:52,615 --> 00:08:55,743
on our bodies.
And this stress can shorten a life.
162
00:08:56,536 --> 00:08:59,622
Increasingly we are seeing
multiple peer-reviewed studies
163
00:08:59,705 --> 00:09:03,084
that suggest that if we can actually
embrace that reality,
164
00:09:03,292 --> 00:09:06,504
if you can find a way to accept it
and to accommodate being older
165
00:09:06,629 --> 00:09:10,174
that you'll be happier, less depressed,
and maybe you'll actually live longer,
166
00:09:10,591 --> 00:09:13,719
and not by just a day or two
but years-- years longer, potentially.
167
00:09:13,928 --> 00:09:15,471
-Yeah.
-Wow.
168
00:09:15,596 --> 00:09:16,556
Make sense?
169
00:09:18,099 --> 00:09:19,850

Yeah, the spelling is all right.
I don't know about that photo.
175
00:09:35,199 --> 00:09:36,284
What happened to me?
176

BJ: That's you, brother.
That beautiful old man.
177
00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:41,372
-Wow.
-Well.
178
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:42,748
It's been a rough 50 years.
179
00:09:43,666 --> 00:09:45,376
Do you need help putting on that lanyard?
180
00:09:45,501 --> 00:09:48,462

Great ID photo, man.

-CHRIS: Nah, not really.
-MICHAEL: Oh, fair enough.
197
00:10:30,087 --> 00:10:33,883
So, he can have a little bit of a taste
of not just as an idea
198
00:10:34,383 --> 00:10:36,927
but a visceral way,he can touch what it feels like
199
00:10:37,053 --> 00:10:39,472
to be an elder and he can begin to touchwhat it feels like
200
00:10:39,597 --> 00:10:42,475
to be at the edge of life
and at the end of life.

202
00:10:44,810 --> 00:10:47,146

to get weirder from here.

-Yeah.
-She's a deadly card player.

so I'll stay away.
214

Keep away from her then.

wherever you want here.

Apart from that there.
You don't need to worry about that.

-That's off limits.
-Yeah. Yeah.

My older brother looks the youngest.

to do some acting.
229
00:11:56,841 --> 00:12:00,845
Yeah. I don't think I'd be doing it
till my hair looks like that.

like local theater, but like...
231
00:12:04,807 --> 00:12:06,976
-Mostly local theater.
-MICHAEL: Nice job.

like a home to you.

So, looking around,
239
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:35,880
does this feel all right to you?
240
00:12:36,297 --> 00:12:37,798
Feel like it could be home?
241
00:12:38,507 --> 00:12:40,176

doesn't it?
242
00:12:41,010 --> 00:12:42,219
BJ: Yeah?
243
00:12:43,846 --> 00:12:45,765
It feels a bit like a hospital, you know?
244
00:12:46,056 --> 00:12:46,932
Yeah.
245
00:12:48,058 --> 00:12:48,976
It's...
246
00:12:52,188 --> 00:12:55,191
CHRIS: Everything up until this pointhas felt like theater.
247
00:12:55,566 --> 00:12:56,734
It has been quite fun...
248
00:12:58,694 --> 00:13:00,196
and then when I find myself in my room,
249
00:13:01,530 --> 00:13:04,784
it kind of begins to hit home
a bit more
250
00:13:05,075 --> 00:13:06,494
and has a bit more weight to it.
251
00:13:10,414 --> 00:13:11,749
Yeah, interesting.

all right,

to meet Gary, all right?

of a legend around here.

So, be careful if he challenges you
in anything.

Bingo is not as--
not as physically challenging.

Then, if you like, we do have a ping-pong,
you know, or workout in the gym.

have observed the people who wear it,tend to go through three distinct phases.

The first being denial,
essentially, that they fight the suit.

with a big, deep breath in, legs apart.

is the deteriorationof-- of physical capabilities.

not being able to be active.

00:17:03,939 --> 00:17:04,940
All the things I love to do.
337
00:17:05,274 --> 00:17:09,069
Could be incredibly challenging
but also scary, I'm sure.
338
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:20,414
Great work today, guys,
thank you so much. See you next time.
339
00:17:20,539 --> 00:17:21,415
Good session.
340
00:17:22,082 --> 00:17:23,167
You all right there, Chris?
341
00:17:23,375 --> 00:17:25,753
-Good. Thank you.
-No worries. Take your time, okay?
342
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:28,172
-BJ: Hey, bud.
-CHRIS: Hey.
343
00:17:28,464 --> 00:17:31,967
I just wanna check in at the end
of a-- a long day, I'd imagine.
344
00:17:32,134 --> 00:17:35,846
Yeah, very long day.
I feel like I've had an intense workout.
345
00:17:36,055 --> 00:17:38,891
-Well, we're not getting any younger.
-Yeah.
346
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:42,478
So, Gary, I thought it'd be really helpful
if you shared with Chris
347
00:17:42,686 --> 00:17:45,439
some of your background,
story of your younger self.
348
00:17:46,023 --> 00:17:49,902
Well, when I was younger,
I used to be, you know, quite fit.
349
00:17:50,235 --> 00:17:52,988
When I was very active and very physical.
350
00:17:53,322 --> 00:17:54,198
Yeah.
351
00:17:54,323 --> 00:17:56,492
You know. And my favorite was in kung fu.
352
00:17:56,784 --> 00:18:00,204
(SLOW TEMPO MUSIC PLAYING)
353
00:18:02,247 --> 00:18:05,918
GARY: It became a huge part of my life,my identity.
354
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:12,299
I was really good at it, winning lotsof awards and titles.
355
00:18:14,885 --> 00:18:18,597
I was, at one stage, even awardeda black belt by the Shaolin Temple.
356
00:18:20,724 --> 00:18:22,726
It was really, really something.
357
00:18:25,521 --> 00:18:29,525
And then one day, I had an accident,
you know, in the training.
358
00:18:29,650 --> 00:18:32,736
I went too hard and practically
smashed my knee.
359
00:18:33,987 --> 00:18:37,699
As I got older, my body just
never felt the same again.
360
00:18:38,158 --> 00:18:40,786
I could never be what I used to be.
361
00:18:42,663 --> 00:18:45,749
GARY: When you're young, we always thinkthat we are super or Superman,
362
00:18:45,916 --> 00:18:46,917
that we will live forever.
363
00:18:47,084 --> 00:18:48,919
We never give a thought that
as you age,
364
00:18:49,002 --> 00:18:53,423
you start to realize that different parts
of the body may start breaking down.
365
00:18:56,552 --> 00:18:57,803
But the truth is,
366
00:18:59,346 --> 00:19:00,514
you will grow old
367
00:19:01,014 --> 00:19:02,432
and your body will fail.
368
00:19:06,228 --> 00:19:10,899
So, gradually, you know,
you sort of have to accept...
369
00:19:11,441 --> 00:19:12,734
-Yeah.
-...the situation.
370
00:19:12,943 --> 00:19:14,486
And that's when Tai Chi came in.
371
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:23,036
One morning when I was out walking,
372
00:19:23,328 --> 00:19:28,375
I saw a group of elderly peopledoing this slow-motion type of exercise.
373
00:19:32,546 --> 00:19:33,964
And the balance that they have,
374
00:19:34,256 --> 00:19:39,386
you know, the flexibilityand the grace got me really curious.
375
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:44,641
I saw something that I could relate to.
376
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:47,811
An opportunity....
377
00:19:52,566 --> 00:19:55,360
And so, I started to learn Tai Chi.
378
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,574
And I did it more and more.
379
00:20:15,547 --> 00:20:20,219
And as I learn about this,you know, I found a new way
380
00:20:20,302 --> 00:20:22,888
of connecting to my physicality, you know?
381
00:20:22,971 --> 00:20:28,101
And so, this taught me a lot of things
and a new way of looking and of living.
382
00:20:29,019 --> 00:20:33,774
You know. And maybe that is something
that might be useful to you.
383
00:20:34,107 --> 00:20:37,319
One of the cruelties we do to each other
is we consider aging a failure,
384
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:39,112
that our body's failing us.
385
00:20:39,947 --> 00:20:42,324
No. No, that's just the way we see it.
386
00:20:42,532 --> 00:20:46,954
Even as our body is maybe weakening,
it's opening up something else.
387
00:20:47,329 --> 00:20:48,997
And this may be part of us
is getting smaller,
388
00:20:49,206 --> 00:20:51,875
there's this room for us to get bigger
in some other way.
389
00:20:52,209 --> 00:20:55,003
That's when humans really shine,
as we come up against the limit.
390
00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:57,631
-Exactly. Yeah.
-It's a gift in a way, isn't it?
391
00:20:57,839 --> 00:21:00,050
GARY: Yeah, yeah,
it's a kind of revelation
392
00:21:00,342 --> 00:21:03,387
that once you learn to accept things
393
00:21:03,512 --> 00:21:04,513
for what it is,
394
00:21:04,638 --> 00:21:08,809
you actually find something even deeper
and more valuable.
395
00:21:09,309 --> 00:21:12,020
A lot of what you're saying, you know,
rings true to me,
396
00:21:12,145 --> 00:21:14,690
and it-- and it makes you think
this is not a bad kind of...
397
00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:18,902
How to--- how to reframe that
and how to-- how to adjust to it.
398
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:21,822
How about, let's go
and try out some Tai Chi moves?
399
00:21:21,947 --> 00:21:23,365
-Sounds good.
-Okay.

401

GARY: Well, I hope that by listeningto my experience,
402
00:21:32,541 --> 00:21:36,920
Chris will learn that there are ways
403
00:21:37,004 --> 00:21:41,508
that you can continue to livethe life that you want to.
404
00:21:43,552 --> 00:21:46,179
You can actually expand yourself.
405
00:21:46,888 --> 00:21:52,102
So, you actually discovera deeper understanding of the body.
406
00:21:58,275 --> 00:21:59,735
CHRIS: It was great talking to Gary.
407
00:22:00,110 --> 00:22:03,447
Makes me realize that, you know,my approach to the aging suit
408
00:22:03,655 --> 00:22:08,827
shouldn't be to try and beat it.Should be to adapt and evolve with it.

All right, so day one down.
Sunset Pines Retirement Village.
412
00:22:23,633 --> 00:22:27,137
Officially retired and feeling pretty old
after wearing that suit all day,
413
00:22:27,262 --> 00:22:28,263
pretty restrictive.
414
00:22:28,472 --> 00:22:31,683
I started to get kind of irritated,
especially when people were talking to me
415
00:22:32,976 --> 00:22:35,854
the way that I guess a lot of us
talk to elderly people,
416
00:22:36,021 --> 00:22:39,399
which is that sort of, you know,
speaking very clear and "hello."
417
00:22:39,566 --> 00:22:42,986
And there's almost this kind of
patronizing sort of tone to it.
418
00:22:43,236 --> 00:22:46,490
So, I hope I don't do that
when I speak to elderly people.
419
00:22:46,656 --> 00:22:48,617
Now, I've got to get comfortable
in this room here.
420
00:22:48,742 --> 00:22:51,620
We've got a massive bed here
which looks like something
421
00:22:51,953 --> 00:22:54,206
one of my kids would sleep in.
What else we got in here?
422
00:22:54,414 --> 00:22:57,167
Not much, this is it.
It's a little bit like a prison.

is the second stage is you move into

-I'm pretty active at 80, so it's not bad.
-Yeah.
502
00:27:02,454 --> 00:27:06,666
I think as well as being physically active
at the same time, keep your mind active.
503
00:27:06,875 --> 00:27:09,919
You know, build up a good relationship
with your family, your children,
504
00:27:10,128 --> 00:27:12,422
grandchildren...
make a lot of friends.
505
00:27:12,797 --> 00:27:13,715
Yeah.
506
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,468
And-- and while you're doing that,
you will also helping yourself
507
00:27:16,635 --> 00:27:18,261
in maintaining your youth.
508
00:27:19,596 --> 00:27:23,725
BJ: So, if Chris can accept getting olderand drop this notion
509
00:27:23,850 --> 00:27:25,226
of physical independence,
510
00:27:25,644 --> 00:27:27,854
that's when he can learn
to rely on others.
511
00:27:28,521 --> 00:27:31,900
He's going to have to adopta bigger sense of himself
512
00:27:31,983 --> 00:27:36,363
that can accommodate frailty,
and vulnerability, and old age.
513
00:27:37,364 --> 00:27:40,784
This is the lesson if you can learnto accept that fact.
514
00:27:40,909 --> 00:27:44,746
That's when we get to experience
just how connected we all are
515
00:27:44,829 --> 00:27:48,583
to each other and to the world around us.
This is very, very good for your health.
516
00:27:49,459 --> 00:27:52,045
-So, you got children?
-Yep. Three kids.
517
00:27:52,253 --> 00:27:53,171
How old?
518
00:27:53,421 --> 00:27:57,217
-Nine and seven. Two twin boys at seven.
-Oh!
519
00:27:57,342 --> 00:27:59,678
-Yeah.
-They were fun when they were babies.
520
00:27:59,928 --> 00:28:00,845
Yes, they're fun now.
521
00:28:03,264 --> 00:28:05,684
You miss them when you are out
and about doing
522
00:28:05,892 --> 00:28:07,727
-your acting?
-Yeah, definitely. Yep.
523
00:28:07,894 --> 00:28:09,020
Yep. Yep.
524
00:28:11,356 --> 00:28:13,692
NATALIE: It's looking good. Well done.
525
00:28:14,401 --> 00:28:18,029
-Oh, Chris. Tell me about yours.
-I'm not sure what it is.
526
00:28:18,321 --> 00:28:20,365
It's like me crossed with a koala.
527
00:28:20,949 --> 00:28:22,450
(ALL CHUCKLE)
528
00:28:23,702 --> 00:28:25,662
CHRIS: I just need a eucalyptus leaf
to be chewin' on.
529
00:28:25,995 --> 00:28:27,122
NATALIE: No, looks great.
530
00:28:41,386 --> 00:28:42,429
BJ: Hey, bud.
531
00:28:42,721 --> 00:28:44,139
-Hello.
-How you doing?
532
00:28:44,889 --> 00:28:45,807
CHRIS: Just...
533
00:28:46,349 --> 00:28:50,729
remove the-- the suit for a minute.
Just a... Yeah, it's just so good to...
534
00:28:50,895 --> 00:28:52,021
It's nice to have a breather.
535
00:28:52,564 --> 00:28:54,733
-Feel good to take it off?
-It does, yeah.
536
00:28:54,816 --> 00:28:56,276
Well, good news.
537
00:28:56,609 --> 00:28:59,696
-(CHUCKLES)
-You get to be done with that suit.
538
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:01,364
That experiment is over.
539
00:29:01,990 --> 00:29:02,991
Wonderful.
540
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:04,826
Yeah, I'll leave it right here
on the couch.
541
00:29:05,076 --> 00:29:06,369
Right, oh. Exactly.
542
00:29:07,370 --> 00:29:09,622
The major lesson here is acceptance.
543
00:29:09,956 --> 00:29:13,168
There's certain things or certain battles
we're just not going to win
544
00:29:13,334 --> 00:29:15,128
and you're not going
to beat that suit...
545
00:29:15,211 --> 00:29:16,129
Yeah.
546
00:29:16,296 --> 00:29:18,006
...and you're not going to beat aging
and that's okay.
547
00:29:18,173 --> 00:29:22,260
Yeah. But then how do you come
to terms with that? How do people accept?
548
00:29:24,262 --> 00:29:27,474
For me, just couple things
to tell you about.
549
00:29:27,557 --> 00:29:29,267
I-- So, when I was 19,
550
00:29:30,059 --> 00:29:31,352
a sophomore in college...
551
00:29:34,731 --> 00:29:36,107
you know, life was really good.
552
00:29:39,027 --> 00:29:40,570
Then sophomore fall,
553
00:29:41,154 --> 00:29:43,490
friends of mine and I,
we were screwing around
554
00:29:43,823 --> 00:29:46,743
on our commuter train
and my buds and I,
555
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:49,329
we just climbed it
like you climb a tree.
556
00:29:49,537 --> 00:29:51,414
There was just a parked train
just sitting there.
557
00:29:51,998 --> 00:29:55,752
But when I stood up,
I had a metal watch on my wrist.
558
00:29:56,211 --> 00:29:58,838
And when I stood up,
I was close enough to the power source,
559
00:29:58,922 --> 00:30:02,675
the electricity arced to the watch.
Instantaneous big explosion,
560
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:07,388
and in a moment just, you know,
everything changed in a way.
561
00:30:13,061 --> 00:30:16,773
I lost one arm below the elbow
and both legs below the knee,
562
00:30:19,025 --> 00:30:20,985
and I came very close to death.
563
00:30:27,367 --> 00:30:28,701
It broke me down.
564
00:30:30,161 --> 00:30:32,872
My life was over. I was just pure loss.
565
00:30:36,751 --> 00:30:39,379
And I thought, "Who am I, now?"
566
00:30:43,550 --> 00:30:47,804
This forced me to reimagine myself.
567
00:30:48,221 --> 00:30:50,640
Adaptation was only going
to get me so far.
568
00:30:51,391 --> 00:30:52,600
I had to accept it.
569
00:30:53,810 --> 00:30:56,229
And somewhere along the way,it took me a few years,
570
00:30:56,563 --> 00:31:00,191
but there came a point
where I let that old body,
571
00:31:00,483 --> 00:31:03,069
that old sense of self, I let him go.
572
00:31:06,406 --> 00:31:07,699
He died.
573
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:10,994
What was in store for me...
574
00:31:15,123 --> 00:31:19,043
I knew that my identity didn't existin my feet.
575
00:31:23,798 --> 00:31:25,633
I look at myself in the mirrorevery once in a while and say,
576
00:31:25,758 --> 00:31:28,803
"This is my life. This is it.This is-- this is my life."
577
00:31:38,771 --> 00:31:41,232
I think this is a part of acceptanceis where you actually
578
00:31:41,357 --> 00:31:42,400
let the change happen.
579
00:31:53,828 --> 00:31:55,788
-(DOG BARKS)
-Come on.
580
00:31:56,039 --> 00:31:57,040
That's it.
581
00:31:57,999 --> 00:31:59,167
Good girl.
582
00:32:05,048 --> 00:32:06,716
BJ: That was a big, big deal for me.
583
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:09,135
Those years following my accidentand learning to play
584
00:32:09,218 --> 00:32:11,137
with how I saw myself in the world.
585
00:32:16,017 --> 00:32:19,520
My sense of self had expandedto the point where not only
586
00:32:19,729 --> 00:32:21,564
I could accommodate limb loss.
587
00:32:22,357 --> 00:32:25,234
But I started making meaningand making sense of my experience.
588
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,196
I went into medicineand fell immediately in love
589
00:32:28,404 --> 00:32:29,572
with palliative care.
590
00:32:33,910 --> 00:32:35,870
People usually have a misunderstanding
of it that it's all about
591
00:32:36,037 --> 00:32:37,121
end of life and death.
592
00:32:37,413 --> 00:32:40,458
But my job is to treat sufferingand to help people
593
00:32:40,583 --> 00:32:42,085
find meaning in their life.
594
00:32:42,168 --> 00:32:45,338
So, you could also say it's somethingof a philosophy.
595
00:32:45,505 --> 00:32:46,506
Come on. Right here.
596
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:51,552
My story is dramatic,but it's just a variation on a theme.
597
00:32:51,928 --> 00:32:55,723
We all suffer, we all bump upagainst things that we can't control.
598
00:32:59,352 --> 00:33:01,688
And that brings us to this pointof acceptance
599
00:33:02,021 --> 00:33:03,898
and that's a placewhere I'm trying to move Chris.
600
00:33:08,069 --> 00:33:11,948
CHRIS: Talking with BJ, I find myselfin awe of his attitude.
601
00:33:12,532 --> 00:33:15,994
He went through one
of the toughest experiences
602
00:33:16,202 --> 00:33:18,329
someone can go through
at a very young age too,
603
00:33:19,330 --> 00:33:22,458
and yet he's accepted that experience,
604
00:33:22,583 --> 00:33:26,212
and I find that such a beautiful approachto life.
605
00:33:33,636 --> 00:33:36,097
So, are you starting to get a little hint,
606
00:33:36,180 --> 00:33:38,599
a little glimmer
at this thing called acceptance?
607
00:33:39,809 --> 00:33:44,397
Yeah, I mean, one thing I've accepted
and come to terms with is
608
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,357
that I-- I don't feel invincible,
you know.
609
00:33:46,441 --> 00:33:49,068
And the really interesting thing
that certainly I think about is, like,
610
00:33:49,235 --> 00:33:53,740
well, there will come a day when
you can't take the suit off and...
611
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,491
that's an intimidating...
612
00:33:55,825 --> 00:33:58,244
-thought for me, you know?
-Mm-hmm.
613
00:33:58,411 --> 00:34:00,079
-It's a big one.
-Yeah.
614
00:34:03,708 --> 00:34:05,626
Yeah, so, it stirs up
a whole lot of
615
00:34:06,544 --> 00:34:09,005
ideas and-- and thoughts.
616
00:34:09,338 --> 00:34:14,260
And, you know, I-- I think just living
in that space of sort of goal-orientated
617
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:17,805
-kind of get through this checklist first.
-Mm-hmm.
618
00:34:19,098 --> 00:34:21,225
It can also be sort of dangerous, right?
Like a--
619
00:34:21,434 --> 00:34:22,935
-Absolutely.
-'Cause it's the assumption
620
00:34:23,061 --> 00:34:25,188
that you have time to get through it
rather than going...
621
00:34:25,646 --> 00:34:26,564
Right.
622
00:34:26,773 --> 00:34:28,191
-Man.
-There may not be a tomorrow.
623
00:34:28,274 --> 00:34:30,234
Yeah, absolutely. Yep.
624
00:34:30,610 --> 00:34:33,362
I've come to learn how hard it is
to actually be in the moment.
625
00:34:33,613 --> 00:34:34,989
Is that a skill you have?
626
00:34:35,490 --> 00:34:36,699
It's something I...
627
00:34:37,492 --> 00:34:40,953
am aware
that I-- I-- I want to achieve...
628
00:34:41,162 --> 00:34:42,580
and be better at, you know.
629
00:34:43,122 --> 00:34:44,707
But...
630
00:34:45,041 --> 00:34:48,419
you know. Being in it,
being brutally honest with myself.
631
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,506
I'm not. And now...
632
00:34:54,258 --> 00:34:56,469
I'm sort of going,
"What's really important?" You know?
633
00:34:56,677 --> 00:34:59,222
You know, I just feel like I'm sort of,
you know, busier and busier and busier,
634
00:34:59,388 --> 00:35:02,683
and I'm not even with the kids
as much as I want to be.
635
00:35:03,351 --> 00:35:04,811
But like, I think about it--
636
00:35:05,686 --> 00:35:07,105
that a lot,
you know, and just...
637
00:35:09,565 --> 00:35:12,026
Just the sort of fragility of it all.
638
00:35:17,281 --> 00:35:19,575
(EXHALES DEEPLY)
639
00:35:35,216 --> 00:35:36,884
I just wanna get this right.
640
00:35:39,595 --> 00:35:40,721
It...
641
00:35:44,183 --> 00:35:46,144
I've been working so much for...
642
00:35:47,145 --> 00:35:48,271
ten or twelve years now,
643
00:35:49,772 --> 00:35:53,526
and found a lot of, you know,
my memories have...
644
00:35:53,734 --> 00:35:58,030
it felt like they are in fast forward,
and wishing I had a sort of pause
645
00:35:58,156 --> 00:35:59,323
and taken more time.
646
00:35:59,949 --> 00:36:00,992
And...
647
00:36:01,909 --> 00:36:03,411
it makes me think about a story
648
00:36:03,536 --> 00:36:06,038
my mom was telling me about.
The experience she had recently,
649
00:36:06,122 --> 00:36:10,334
where she thought she was facing
the end of her life for a brief moment.
650
00:36:12,253 --> 00:36:14,672
And that she felt...
651
00:36:15,715 --> 00:36:18,342
complete peace with her experiences
652
00:36:18,426 --> 00:36:22,054
in the fact that she had many people
around her that loved her,
653
00:36:22,221 --> 00:36:25,057
many people that she loved
and she had a very full life,
654
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:29,687
and I think it affected me because I...
655
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,108
I don't want to find myself
rushing through things anymore.
656
00:36:38,821 --> 00:36:40,489
Yeah. This experience is making me
657
00:36:40,656 --> 00:36:42,783
want to press pauseon everything for a while
658
00:36:42,992 --> 00:36:45,786
and then kind of be much more presentthan I've been.
659
00:36:51,459 --> 00:36:54,212
BJ: So, at this point,Chris is opening up a little bit,
660
00:36:54,503 --> 00:36:57,632
which is an invaluable moment
along the way to acceptance.
661
00:36:59,634 --> 00:37:02,887
It's now time to make someof these lessons more personal for him.
662
00:37:03,471 --> 00:37:05,556
And explore the world of emotional loss.
663
00:37:10,061 --> 00:37:13,689
The finale of day twois a dance at Sunset Pines.
664
00:37:13,814 --> 00:37:15,233
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
665
00:37:15,399 --> 00:37:16,901
MALE VOICE:
Do you wanna try this on, see if it fits?
666
00:37:17,944 --> 00:37:21,072
BJ: What Chris doesn't know is,at the dance, his wife,
667
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,658
his real wife, Elsa,will be waiting for him.
668
00:37:24,408 --> 00:37:26,369
Oh, my God.
669
00:37:26,786 --> 00:37:30,998
And Elsa has signed up to be age 50 yearsthrough the magic of prosthetics.
670
00:37:31,165 --> 00:37:32,917
Yeah, I don't feel bad about my hands now.
671
00:37:33,042 --> 00:37:34,919
-Look at my hands!
-Yeah. There ya go.
672
00:37:35,086 --> 00:37:37,171
ELSA: So, I'm sitting in the chair,
673
00:37:37,505 --> 00:37:40,174
and they started puttingon the prosthetics
674
00:37:40,925 --> 00:37:42,969
and it start to feel really weird.
675
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,805
I was like, I don't want to do this.
676
00:37:46,180 --> 00:37:48,808
It was a moment of, like,
"I can't do this."
677
00:37:51,143 --> 00:37:52,186
Aging is...
678
00:37:53,354 --> 00:37:56,107
is threatening,
especially with women
679
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:59,193
and in this society,
it made me think about
680
00:37:59,402 --> 00:38:01,696
how much value we give to youth.
681
00:38:02,738 --> 00:38:04,824
BJ: This is possiblythe most confrontational,
682
00:38:04,991 --> 00:38:06,993
daring moment of this whole experiment.
683
00:38:07,201 --> 00:38:09,996
Chris does not know this is coming.
This is a big surprise for him.
684
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:12,123
Yeah, I can-- I can see my mom actually.
685
00:38:12,373 --> 00:38:17,086
It just makes you feel like,
God is that where we gonna go
686
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:19,922
and be, you know. It's-- it's difficult.
(CHUCKLES)
687
00:38:20,631 --> 00:38:22,008
BJ: But, you know, what's interesting is,
688
00:38:22,174 --> 00:38:24,844
we know from datathat most of us are less afraid
689
00:38:24,969 --> 00:38:27,471
by our own frailty, our own deaths
690
00:38:27,763 --> 00:38:30,474
than we are at the deaths
of people we care for.
691
00:38:32,226 --> 00:38:34,270
So, to explore this further,
692
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,982
we want Chris to meet another residentof Sunset Pines.
693
00:38:38,858 --> 00:38:42,862
Well, my name is Aisea Vakalalabure.
I'm a Fijian, from Fiji.
694
00:38:43,029 --> 00:38:45,531
And I'm 88 years old.
695
00:38:45,865 --> 00:38:48,576
And here's your table Mr. Hemsworth.
I like you to meet Aisea.
696
00:38:48,826 --> 00:38:49,744
Aisea?
697
00:38:50,202 --> 00:38:52,538
-Hi Chris, pleased to meet you.
-You too.
698
00:38:52,955 --> 00:38:54,498
PRODUCER:
Do you know who Chris Hemsworth is?
699
00:38:54,707 --> 00:38:55,583
No.
700
00:38:55,875 --> 00:38:58,085
(ALL CHUCKLING)
701
00:38:58,961 --> 00:39:00,254
No.
702
00:39:02,381 --> 00:39:05,468
How do you feel now coming
to this life of retirement?
703
00:39:05,634 --> 00:39:07,762
-How...
-Very different, very different.
704
00:39:08,262 --> 00:39:10,348
A lot of wonderful people though,
you know?
705
00:39:10,556 --> 00:39:12,767
It's been a very unique experience.
706
00:39:12,892 --> 00:39:13,934
Well, I'll tell you
707
00:39:14,226 --> 00:39:16,937
being an elderly person
is the best thing,
708
00:39:17,646 --> 00:39:19,648
aging is very important in life.
709
00:39:19,940 --> 00:39:22,360
BJ said it was a-- a great opportunity
to meet you
710
00:39:22,568 --> 00:39:24,320
because you have an important story.
711
00:39:24,820 --> 00:39:25,780
Well.
712
00:39:26,447 --> 00:39:28,949
I come from Fiji and I come
from a chiefly family,
713
00:39:29,533 --> 00:39:34,330
and my eldest brother we were very close.
I was closer to him than to my parents.
714
00:39:36,957 --> 00:39:39,460
To him, I am the small baby brother
715
00:39:40,211 --> 00:39:42,213
but to me, he's everything.
716
00:39:44,965 --> 00:39:47,760
And everywhere he goesI'm always behind him.
717
00:39:47,843 --> 00:39:49,095
I was his shadow.
718
00:39:52,932 --> 00:39:54,809
From childhood, right up until
719
00:39:54,934 --> 00:39:57,603
we went to the army he's always there,
720
00:39:57,812 --> 00:39:59,480
and he's always looking after me.
721
00:40:02,316 --> 00:40:04,026
And I look at him as a father,
722
00:40:04,568 --> 00:40:06,737
big brother, and my protector.
723
00:40:07,905 --> 00:40:09,115
When our father died,
724
00:40:09,281 --> 00:40:10,908
being the eldest of the family,
725
00:40:11,283 --> 00:40:14,120
he had to take over the role of chief.
726
00:40:19,208 --> 00:40:20,835
And he became a good chief,
727
00:40:21,419 --> 00:40:22,586
and the people loved him.
728
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:26,465
Unfortunately, this didn't last long.
729
00:40:27,675 --> 00:40:29,135
He became sick.
730
00:40:35,933 --> 00:40:36,934
When he died,
731
00:40:39,103 --> 00:40:41,397
my world came crumbling down.
732
00:40:45,443 --> 00:40:47,194
And I lost
733
00:40:48,571 --> 00:40:51,907
the man that I loved,my real brother.
734
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,827
And I was devastated,
735
00:40:55,411 --> 00:40:57,037
the loss that I suffered
736
00:40:57,788 --> 00:40:59,290
is unmeasurable.
737
00:41:08,507 --> 00:41:10,342
But in Fijian society
738
00:41:10,551 --> 00:41:14,346
there is a periodof mourning of 100 days and 100 nights
739
00:41:14,722 --> 00:41:16,974
when the whole village is closed down.
740
00:41:21,770 --> 00:41:25,441
No singing. No playing. No nothing.
741
00:41:28,611 --> 00:41:30,196
And as the 100 days began,
742
00:41:30,362 --> 00:41:32,323
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
743
00:41:32,448 --> 00:41:34,200
I didn't want to be around people
744
00:41:34,408 --> 00:41:36,410
let alone lead a community.
745
00:41:39,663 --> 00:41:41,373
And I thought to myself
746
00:41:41,499 --> 00:41:42,875
will I be good enough?
747
00:41:43,751 --> 00:41:46,212
(LIGHTNING CRACKLES)
748
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:54,011
Will they respect me
as they respected my brother?
749
00:41:55,679 --> 00:41:56,805
I can't do this.
750
00:42:05,689 --> 00:42:07,775
But 100 days is a long time.
751
00:42:08,150 --> 00:42:11,153
(BIRDS CHIRPING)
752
00:42:12,112 --> 00:42:14,323
It gives you time to think.
753
00:42:18,494 --> 00:42:20,788
To learn, to be more open to others.
754
00:42:22,831 --> 00:42:23,832
To grow.
755
00:42:25,751 --> 00:42:27,127
Day after day.
756
00:42:28,754 --> 00:42:30,130
Every sunrise.
757
00:42:31,632 --> 00:42:32,841
Every sunset.
758
00:42:33,467 --> 00:42:35,844
The grief was changing me.
759
00:42:38,347 --> 00:42:40,182
And that was how I accepted
760
00:42:40,516 --> 00:42:42,560
I must stand up.
761
00:42:42,977 --> 00:42:45,312
Follow his footsteps, put on his shoes,
762
00:42:45,563 --> 00:42:46,939
though big it may be,
763
00:42:47,022 --> 00:42:49,275
and accept the role of being a chief.
764
00:42:51,986 --> 00:42:54,989
BJ: What I really want Chris to learnfrom Aisea's example
765
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,243
is the importance of giving ourselftime and space
766
00:42:59,451 --> 00:43:01,787
to have very difficult feelings.
767
00:43:02,955 --> 00:43:05,916
Life includes incredible sorrow,
768
00:43:06,292 --> 00:43:10,170
incredible sadness, and that those,
just like aging aren't our enemy,
769
00:43:10,671 --> 00:43:12,172
they're just part of the deal.
770
00:43:14,258 --> 00:43:17,094
AISEA: You will lose the people you love.
771
00:43:18,429 --> 00:43:21,307
But I was a better community leader
772
00:43:21,849 --> 00:43:24,268
a better man,because of those hundred days.
773
00:43:25,853 --> 00:43:29,565
And so, I learnt grief is beautiful.
774
00:43:30,649 --> 00:43:33,569
Sounds like where you're from
there's far more acceptance
775
00:43:33,736 --> 00:43:35,904
and welcoming of that transition.
776
00:43:36,071 --> 00:43:38,198
AISEA:
You know, I believe that Western society
777
00:43:38,282 --> 00:43:40,159
don't give enough time to grieve.
778
00:43:41,327 --> 00:43:42,745
Grief is good.
779
00:43:43,037 --> 00:43:44,496
That�s what I believe in.
780
00:43:44,955 --> 00:43:47,583
Gentlemen, here are your meals.
781
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,253
This is Sunset Pines finest,
and, Mr. Hemsworth,
782
00:43:51,378 --> 00:43:54,798
we'll be looking forward to seeing you
at our weekly dance this evening.
783
00:43:56,133 --> 00:43:58,344
-Bon appetit.
-Thank you.
784
00:43:58,510 --> 00:43:59,553
Dancing?
785
00:44:01,388 --> 00:44:03,932
-Should be fun.
-AISEA: Yes. (CHUCKLES)
786
00:44:06,477 --> 00:44:09,521
CHRIS: It's great talking to Aiseaand so good to hear his story.
787
00:44:10,272 --> 00:44:12,608
But the idea of losingthe people you love,
788
00:44:13,067 --> 00:44:14,818
I think is the scariest thing
789
00:44:15,277 --> 00:44:18,947
and that's not really something
I'm ready to accept just yet.
790
00:44:21,950 --> 00:44:24,536
MALE VOICE: Sorry, Elsa. Is it okay
if you just keep your eyes closed
791
00:44:24,703 --> 00:44:25,704
-for a little while?
-ELSA: Mm-hmm.
792
00:44:25,829 --> 00:44:27,122
Just while we do this. Thank you.
793
00:44:29,833 --> 00:44:32,336
BJ: So, the last part of day two,we come to the dance,
794
00:44:32,586 --> 00:44:37,841
and this is where we confront Chris
with Elsa, his beloved wife.
795
00:44:38,467 --> 00:44:41,053
But now Elsa is the one
who's aged 50 years.

("SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES" PLAYING)
797
00:44:43,972 --> 00:44:45,641
This could be good,
or it could be very tragic.
798
00:44:47,226 --> 00:44:48,936
I don't know what's going to happen.
799
00:44:51,939 --> 00:44:54,316
ELSA: Looking at myself,it's really confronting,
800
00:44:54,692 --> 00:44:57,986
and so real, like, really, really real.
801
00:45:01,281 --> 00:45:03,242
I feel really vulnerable.
802
00:45:05,327 --> 00:45:08,288
And I'm not sure I want Chris
to see me like this.
803
00:45:08,872 --> 00:45:09,998
Yeah.

-Chris, there you are. Now...
-CHRIS: You all right?
807
00:45:28,434 --> 00:45:32,104
I have set you up with a fantastic date.
808
00:45:32,438 --> 00:45:34,314
-Oh, really?
-Yeah, now, I know you're married.
809
00:45:34,398 --> 00:45:37,109
-But we won't tell your wife, okay?
-Yeah, yeah, but?
810

Come with me. Come on now.
Don't be shy.

-Okay, I'm not shy. I know.
-Not shy though?
812

-Nervous not-- not shy though.
-Oh, okay. See the lady in pink there?

and I was like...

I know this person."

It was so deep and so unexpected.
830
00:47:03,654 --> 00:47:05,113
I felt safe.

834
00:47:18,252 --> 00:47:24,550
Looking at my wife having aged 50 yearsand it was a strange mixture of emotions
835
00:47:24,675 --> 00:47:25,592
of sort of...

00:47:27,010 --> 00:47:29,930
love, joy, empathy...
837
00:47:31,682 --> 00:47:32,891
and then also
838

kind of absurd
in a brilliant way.
839
00:47:36,937 --> 00:47:38,021
It's been such a weird...
840
00:47:38,689 --> 00:47:41,149
day, like, I don't know.
Just thinking about...
841
00:47:41,525 --> 00:47:43,819
life and death and everything.

ELSA: For me, today was, like,
I was just putting on 50 years.
843
00:47:48,115 --> 00:47:50,367
-Yeah. Yep.
-And it's really, really shocking,
844
00:47:50,868 --> 00:47:53,203
not-- not having those years to adapt.
845
00:47:53,579 --> 00:47:55,247
And I think nature gave you that...
846
00:47:55,664 --> 00:47:59,167
-steps to get used to me in a way.
-Yeah.
847
00:47:59,376 --> 00:48:01,920
It's pretty intense diving straight into.
This is what... Yeah.
848
00:48:02,004 --> 00:48:04,923
Yeah. It's just... it's really
confronting.
849
00:48:05,632 --> 00:48:07,217
No, it was quite shocking
when I saw you then.
850
00:48:07,384 --> 00:48:10,345
I was like, "Oh! Wait, wait."
Been robbed of 50 years.
851
00:48:11,179 --> 00:48:13,891
It was kind of like-- it was kind of,
852
00:48:14,975 --> 00:48:18,186
you're at the tail end of things maybe.

sort of teary-eyed.

-I want to live those years with you.
-Yeah.
855
00:48:24,860 --> 00:48:26,653
We need those memories, yeah?
856
00:48:28,405 --> 00:48:29,281
Should we dance?
857
00:48:29,531 --> 00:48:32,159
Should we dance? Sure.
Be careful with my back.
858
00:48:32,284 --> 00:48:34,286
You gotta be careful.
You just try and keep up, all right?
859
00:48:35,579 --> 00:48:37,664
You all right? Moving slow.

00:48:47,299 --> 00:48:49,092
or fears around aging and death,

What makes it less scary
869
00:49:18,330 --> 00:49:20,165
is having someone to experience it with.

BJ: One of the really important lessonsthat Chris needs to learn
880
00:50:20,267 --> 00:50:22,853
is where there is love, there is loss.
881
00:50:24,604 --> 00:50:26,773
There will be losses in his own life.

-CHRIS: Hello.
-Hi.
901
00:51:54,945 --> 00:51:58,365
I wanted to introduce Christo my friend and colleague...
902
00:51:58,448 --> 00:52:03,453
Alua Arthur. And she works as,
what's called a death doula.
903
00:52:03,703 --> 00:52:05,622
Now tell me,
what exactly is a death doula?
904
00:52:05,789 --> 00:52:08,834
So, a death doula is somebody
who does all the non-medical care
905
00:52:08,917 --> 00:52:12,420
and support of the dying person
and the family through the process.

We essentially walk people
toward the end of life.
907
00:52:15,048 --> 00:52:15,924
Wow.
908
00:52:16,007 --> 00:52:17,843
ALUA: So, if you were talking a lot about
the end of life.
909
00:52:18,093 --> 00:52:19,970
Today, we're gonna talk
about your mortality.

-we have a bunch of coffins here for you.

to take a look at them,
921

see what you like,
see what you don't like.
922

-I-- I have to choose one?
-Yeah, that'd be great.

-CHRIS: Wow.
-You can do a little shopping,
924

take a look around,
see what you're interested in,
925
00:52:46,580 --> 00:52:48,206
what you're drawn to.
926
00:52:48,623 --> 00:52:53,044

-So I'll maybe not go there.

-We have a beautiful...
-Yeah.
929
00:52:56,798 --> 00:52:57,883
...pine one here.
930
00:52:58,008 --> 00:53:01,136
All the sort of fancy timbers feel
a little bit of a waste, don't they?
931
00:53:01,386 --> 00:53:02,637
To bury those in the ground.
932
00:53:02,888 --> 00:53:05,682
Feels like that should be furniture
or something.
933
00:53:07,601 --> 00:53:10,562
Maybe cardboard. Compostable.
934
00:53:10,770 --> 00:53:12,105
Really economical too.

need much where I'm going, I guess.

(GRUNTS)
948
00:53:51,186 --> 00:53:54,147
ALUA: My hope, in looking at the coffinswith Chris,
949
00:53:54,606 --> 00:53:58,860
is that he will connect to his own bodyone day in those coffins.
950
00:53:59,110 --> 00:54:02,447
And so he starts to think
of his death itself.
951
00:54:02,697 --> 00:54:05,158
-Yeah, you already got the position down.
-Yeah, look at that.
952
00:54:05,325 --> 00:54:07,327
-Just like that.
-It's weird-- I feel like a vampire.
953
00:54:07,452 --> 00:54:09,537
-Yeah, well, close.
-Just going away for the...
954
00:54:10,372 --> 00:54:11,456
long night.
955
00:54:11,915 --> 00:54:13,500
-Also called death?
-CHRIS: Yeah.
956
00:54:15,085 --> 00:54:16,127
Yeah.
957
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,590
-Done.
-Well...
958
00:54:21,383 --> 00:54:22,676
ALUA: We're scaredabout talking about death
959
00:54:22,759 --> 00:54:24,177
'cause it makes us really uncomfortable,
960
00:54:24,344 --> 00:54:25,762
like it's something wrong.
961
00:54:25,971 --> 00:54:31,643
Trees die, flowers die, animals die,
car batteries die, humans die.
962
00:54:33,186 --> 00:54:35,063
It was-- it was a strange experience,
wasn't it?
963
00:54:35,563 --> 00:54:36,898
What do you think of coffins generally?
964
00:54:37,482 --> 00:54:41,403
You-- I don't know, I kind of maybe
would prefer to be cremated, I guess.
965
00:54:42,570 --> 00:54:45,365
Rather than cocooned up
in some space,
966
00:54:45,532 --> 00:54:47,367
there's something sort of
claustrophobic about that thought.
967
00:54:47,575 --> 00:54:48,827
-Oh.
-Yeah.
968
00:54:49,035 --> 00:54:50,787
And maybe you could just--
you could throw me in the ocean
969
00:54:50,870 --> 00:54:52,789
and the sharks could have at me, and--
970
00:54:52,914 --> 00:54:54,416
-Throw your body in the ocean?
-Yeah.
971
00:54:54,874 --> 00:54:57,919
I'm curious about how you view
what happens after death.
972
00:54:58,461 --> 00:55:02,007
I don't know. I remember as a kid,
sort of lying awake at night,
973
00:55:02,090 --> 00:55:04,259
thinking about the idea of nothing,
974
00:55:04,426 --> 00:55:08,013
you know, and... poof... just that's it,
you know, forever...
975
00:55:08,221 --> 00:55:09,681
-Yeah.
-...you know? And not just forever,
976
00:55:09,764 --> 00:55:11,266
-but forever, forever, forever, you know?
-Forever.
977
00:55:11,391 --> 00:55:13,768
And it used to kinda--
And it'd, like, keep me up.
978
00:55:13,935 --> 00:55:15,520
You know, it was this, like,
979
00:55:16,354 --> 00:55:17,939
just that complete empty, nothing,
980
00:55:18,231 --> 00:55:19,649
gone kind of idea.
981
00:55:20,400 --> 00:55:21,693
Scared the hell out of me.
982
00:55:21,818 --> 00:55:24,070
The reality is, as we know,
that it could be at any point in time...
983
00:55:24,195 --> 00:55:25,739
-Yeah.
-...right? You know, often people
984
00:55:25,822 --> 00:55:28,658
think about the end of life
as some faraway notion.
985
00:55:29,034 --> 00:55:31,202
Like it's something that happens
out there, over there
986
00:55:31,328 --> 00:55:33,413
and it comes far sooner
than most people are ready for,
987
00:55:33,663 --> 00:55:38,585
which is why opportunities like this one,
to be present to mortality, is so useful.
988
00:55:39,836 --> 00:55:42,130
What would you say the biggest thing
you've learned
989
00:55:42,339 --> 00:55:44,466
through talking to people
at the end of their days?
990
00:55:49,512 --> 00:55:52,140
Being with somebody
991
00:55:52,599 --> 00:55:54,684
as they have just stopped breathing,
992
00:55:55,185 --> 00:55:57,437
to feel the incredible stillness
in the room
993
00:55:57,562 --> 00:55:59,064
after life has just left a body,
994
00:55:59,814 --> 00:56:02,859
is the most simple, yet the most profound.
995
00:56:03,276 --> 00:56:06,821
In that life really does hang
on a single breath.
996
00:56:07,238 --> 00:56:09,199
It's there one minute
and then it's gone the next.
997
00:56:09,699 --> 00:56:12,911
And when it's gone,
it reminds me that I still have
998
00:56:13,036 --> 00:56:17,248
the capacity to breathe, and to live,
and to be engaged, and to love,
999
00:56:17,332 --> 00:56:18,875
and to laugh, and to...
1000
00:56:19,084 --> 00:56:21,086
be joyful,
and to wear color, and to...
1001
00:56:21,252 --> 00:56:23,338
-Yeah, yeah.
-...hug, and, you know, dance,
1002
00:56:23,505 --> 00:56:25,465
and to live, to live.
1003
00:56:25,757 --> 00:56:26,674
Yeah.
1004
00:56:27,300 --> 00:56:28,385
That's beautiful.
1005
00:56:30,136 --> 00:56:32,847

a death-bed meditation.
1006
00:56:33,056 --> 00:56:34,933
-Mm.
-Get you closer to your death.
1007
00:56:35,225 --> 00:56:37,560
(CHUCKLES) Okay, great.
1008
00:56:37,977 --> 00:56:40,355
For now, there's somebody
I want you to meet before we do that.
1009
00:56:40,772 --> 00:56:41,648
-Okay.
-You ready?
1010
00:56:41,815 --> 00:56:42,774
-Yeah.
-Let's go.
1011
00:56:46,194 --> 00:56:49,280
ALUA: One of the benefits for somebodyas young and as vital as Chris
1012
00:56:49,406 --> 00:56:53,701
to be talking and thinking about deathis that it really does drive home
1013
00:56:53,868 --> 00:56:57,288
the conversation that this is possiblefor anybody at any time.
1014
00:56:58,498 --> 00:56:59,916
-Natalie.
-Hello, Chris.
1015
00:57:00,792 --> 00:57:04,045
But that young people also become sick.
1016
00:57:05,046 --> 00:57:06,714
Saw you in art class the other day.
1017
00:57:06,965 --> 00:57:07,966
Yeah. Hi.
1018
00:57:08,174 --> 00:57:10,552
Hi. Alua said that we should speak.
1019
00:57:10,844 --> 00:57:13,763
Yeah. Well, I'm here to tell you
about my experience
1020
00:57:13,847 --> 00:57:14,764
with stage-four cancer.
1021
00:57:15,598 --> 00:57:18,935
And to be honest, I don't know
how much time I have left.
1022
00:57:19,644 --> 00:57:20,895
I'm 27 now.
1023
00:57:21,271 --> 00:57:25,608
But when I was 20,
I was diagnosed with stage-three melanoma.
1024
00:57:26,568 --> 00:57:28,820
It got into my lymph nodes.
1025
00:57:29,112 --> 00:57:30,905
And so, surgery was my only option.
1026
00:57:30,989 --> 00:57:34,117
So, they cut off my toe,
they got rid of all my lymph nodes.
1027
00:57:34,325 --> 00:57:37,328
And for a 20-year-old, you can imagine,
your life got turned upside-down.
1028
00:57:37,787 --> 00:57:39,038
-Yeah.
-And...
1029
00:57:39,664 --> 00:57:42,959
from there on, I have thought
about death every single day of my life.
1030
00:57:45,795 --> 00:57:49,757
No one at 20 expects to be diagnosedwith cancer.
1031
00:57:51,968 --> 00:57:55,430
No one prepares youfor a diagnosis like that.
1032
00:57:56,097 --> 00:57:59,684
And especially, like, the effects
it has on your family,
1033
00:57:59,767 --> 00:58:03,438
and your friends,
and my whole world changed, pretty much,
1034
00:58:03,813 --> 00:58:05,356
like, overnight.
1035
00:58:09,736 --> 00:58:11,821
Cancer became my overall identity.
1036
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,451
Essentially,I was referred to as the sick one.
1037
00:58:17,577 --> 00:58:20,330
For a little while there,
I was-- I was really lost.
1038
00:58:20,872 --> 00:58:23,791
And I needed to find that person
who I once was before.
1039
00:58:23,958 --> 00:58:25,251
Yeah.
1040
00:58:26,878 --> 00:58:29,047
NATALIE:
And so, off I went, I went to Venice.
1041
00:58:29,172 --> 00:58:34,469
Not to run away, more to be in a placewhere no one knew my story,
1042
00:58:34,594 --> 00:58:39,516
so I could truly figure out myselfand how to live alongside this cancer.
1043
00:58:40,850 --> 00:58:43,937
And I met a boy, I fell in love.
1044
00:58:47,815 --> 00:58:49,984
And he just saw me for me,which was, honestly,
1045
00:58:50,193 --> 00:58:51,277
really, really beautiful.
1046
00:58:56,366 --> 00:58:59,786
Alexander is genuine and kind.
1047
00:59:00,245 --> 00:59:03,289
And I've often referred to himas my oak tree.
1048
00:59:05,250 --> 00:59:09,379
He's the person who's just
standing steadfast and he keeps me steady.
1049
00:59:13,299 --> 00:59:16,719
When you have cancer,
you don't know if you can be loved.
1050
00:59:17,387 --> 00:59:20,848
And your relationship with love
and yourself...
1051
00:59:23,184 --> 00:59:24,561
pretty much goes out of the window.
1052
00:59:25,478 --> 00:59:26,896
Love is the most
1053
00:59:28,273 --> 00:59:29,857
amazing thing that we have,
1054
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,360
and that we can experience in this world.
1055
00:59:32,694 --> 00:59:35,572
And the fact that I get
to experience his love, you know...
1056
00:59:36,823 --> 00:59:39,576
he makes me so happy.
1057
00:59:40,285 --> 00:59:41,452
And these are happy tears.
1058
00:59:42,912 --> 00:59:47,542
But three months into our love story,
I came home,
1059
00:59:47,667 --> 00:59:52,255
and I had a routine scan, and they told me
that the cancer was back in my lungs.
1060
00:59:52,839 --> 00:59:54,299
And now, I was stage four.
1061
00:59:55,675 --> 00:59:57,010
So, I told him.
1062
00:59:57,594 --> 00:59:59,304
And then I said,
"I'm breaking up with you."
1063
00:59:59,804 --> 01:00:01,806
And he just turned around
1064
01:00:01,889 --> 01:00:04,684
and was like, "No."
And he was like,
1065
01:00:06,352 --> 01:00:07,604
"I'm in this."
1066
01:00:09,814 --> 01:00:12,817
And he says, "I choose all the time
with you that I have.
1067
01:00:13,526 --> 01:00:15,945
It doesn't matter if it's long,
if it's short.
1068
01:00:16,863 --> 01:00:18,156
Well, I choose you."
1069
01:00:24,954 --> 01:00:28,541
It's probably because of my diagnosisof the way that I look at time.
1070
01:00:29,959 --> 01:00:32,587
The time that anybody hasis so precious.
1071
01:00:32,795 --> 01:00:38,718
So, if you just dive in headfirst,and use whatever time that you have
1072
01:00:38,801 --> 01:00:42,597
because nobody knows their timelines.So, we're just going to love each other.
1073
01:00:44,223 --> 01:00:45,975
And we're gonna love each other
no matter what.
1074
01:00:46,643 --> 01:00:48,227
No matter how much time we have left.
1075
01:00:50,521 --> 01:00:52,607
CHRIS: You know,
we talked about acceptance.
1076
01:00:53,274 --> 01:00:58,529
How are you with-- with acceptance?
With that word or with the idea of it?
1077
01:00:58,946 --> 01:01:02,158
I've thought about death every single day
for the past seven years.
1078
01:01:02,825 --> 01:01:04,577
Have I accepted my mortality?
1079
01:01:05,620 --> 01:01:06,788
Yes and no.
1080
01:01:08,748 --> 01:01:12,335
I think people have
a very funny relationship with aging,
1081
01:01:12,502 --> 01:01:13,419
they get really scared of it.
1082
01:01:14,045 --> 01:01:16,631
But in truth, I would love to age.
1083
01:01:16,798 --> 01:01:18,716
I would love nothing more
than to get old,
1084
01:01:19,133 --> 01:01:20,426
and I think that's a gift.
1085
01:01:25,223 --> 01:01:27,642
We're all-- we're all gonna die one day.
1086
01:01:27,934 --> 01:01:31,521
So, you have to really live life
as much as like you can and enjoy it.
1087
01:01:32,438 --> 01:01:34,482
To soak up every single moment.
1088
01:01:35,149 --> 01:01:36,317
-Yeah.
-CHRIS: Yeah.
1089
01:01:41,447 --> 01:01:43,324
NATALIE:
Your life could end at any time.
1090
01:01:43,825 --> 01:01:46,828
So just enjoy life, enjoy time,
1091
01:01:47,787 --> 01:01:48,996
make the most of it.
1092
01:01:49,539 --> 01:01:51,457
And love as much as you can.
1093
01:02:10,643 --> 01:02:13,813
CHRIS: This is a heartbreaking experience,talking to Natalie
1094
01:02:14,605 --> 01:02:16,816
and listening to her story and-- and...
1095
01:02:18,025 --> 01:02:19,235
hearing someone...
1096
01:02:20,445 --> 01:02:23,197
talk with such grace and-- and maturity
1097
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,410
about something so, so uncertain is,
1098
01:02:28,119 --> 01:02:29,203
is really inspiring.
1099
01:02:30,163 --> 01:02:32,915
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
1100
01:02:45,386 --> 01:02:46,554
-Hello.
-Good to see you.
1101
01:02:46,679 --> 01:02:48,139
-How are you?
-I'm great, man.
1102
01:02:49,515 --> 01:02:50,808
How was your chat with Natalie?
1103
01:02:51,142 --> 01:02:52,977
Yeah, an incredible individual.
1104
01:02:53,060 --> 01:02:54,020
Could you feel that--
1105
01:02:54,687 --> 01:02:57,315
this idea
that there-- tomorrow isn't guaranteed?
1106
01:02:57,482 --> 01:02:58,441
Yeah.
1107
01:02:58,775 --> 01:03:01,527
There's no certainty around that at all.
Do you feel that?
1108
01:03:01,944 --> 01:03:03,154
Absolutely. Yeah.
1109
01:03:03,321 --> 01:03:04,614
There was this sort of...
1110
01:03:05,114 --> 01:03:07,283
essential need to,
sort of, shake the world
1111
01:03:07,450 --> 01:03:10,286
and get this message out
and say, "Do not mess around,
1112
01:03:10,411 --> 01:03:11,621
do not take it for granted.
1113
01:03:12,246 --> 01:03:13,247
Soak up every moment."
1114
01:03:13,372 --> 01:03:15,708
And that is sort of the running theme
I've sort of felt with people.
1115
01:03:15,917 --> 01:03:17,293
Yeah, it's also to kinda...
1116
01:03:17,877 --> 01:03:18,753
weave together
1117
01:03:19,086 --> 01:03:21,214
in a sort of-- a-- a better understanding
of it all.
1118
01:03:21,798 --> 01:03:22,882
So,
1119
01:03:23,341 --> 01:03:27,595
we have come to the end of the--
of your time at Sunset Pines, brother.
1120
01:03:28,095 --> 01:03:31,641
All that's left for you to do
is walk through that door.
1121
01:03:32,934 --> 01:03:34,143
And...
1122
01:03:35,019 --> 01:03:38,022
whatever you find there,
just go with it.
1123
01:03:38,356 --> 01:03:39,273
Okay.
1124
01:03:42,109 --> 01:03:45,071
This is the boldest part
of this whole experiment.
1125
01:03:46,697 --> 01:03:48,407
Thanks, brother. (CHUCKLES)
1126
01:03:48,658 --> 01:03:51,369

1128
01:03:53,287 --> 01:03:54,372

at this point,
1142
01:04:47,592 --> 01:04:49,510
things probably didn't go according
to plan.
1143

CHRIS: Yeah.
1144
01:04:51,178 --> 01:04:53,097
So, we're going to do
the death meditation now.
1145
01:04:53,472 --> 01:04:57,268
The intention for this meditation
is to bring you into greater awareness
1146
01:04:57,643 --> 01:05:01,022
of the end of your life
and also to create renewed engagement
1147

-with life as it is.
-Yeah.
1148
01:05:03,232 --> 01:05:04,859
So, you can begin by closing your eyes.
1149
01:05:08,446 --> 01:05:10,031

-(CHRIS GRUNTS)
-(BJ CLEARS THROAT)
1207
01:09:50,352 --> 01:09:52,605
Another unique experience.
1208
01:09:52,771 --> 01:09:53,939
How was it? How'd you find it?
1209
01:09:54,899 --> 01:09:57,193
It felt really peaceful.
It just felt...
1210
01:09:57,818 --> 01:10:00,196
It didn't feel intimidating,
1211
01:10:00,321 --> 01:10:04,533
it felt sort of like I was off floating
down a river or something, you know?
1212
01:10:05,743 --> 01:10:08,704
Onto the next place, wherever that was.
And...
1213
01:10:09,455 --> 01:10:10,331
It's just--
1214
01:10:10,456 --> 01:10:13,834
When you said, "Think of the place
you'd be or you wanna be.
1215
01:10:13,959 --> 01:10:16,045
Who would be around you
when you're dying, when it's happening."
1216
01:10:16,795 --> 01:10:19,006
And I was just imagining myself
in my living room with all my family
1217
01:10:19,173 --> 01:10:20,341
and friends around and--
1218
01:10:20,841 --> 01:10:22,384
and then it sort of struck me,
I was like,
1219
01:10:23,135 --> 01:10:25,179
"This is what I have
all the time." Like...
1220
01:10:25,346 --> 01:10:27,223
-how lucky I am, you know?
-BJ: Right on.
1221
01:10:27,473 --> 01:10:28,849
-Yeah, absolutely.
-Yeah.
1222
01:10:30,100 --> 01:10:33,229
It's a very familiar place
and experience for me.
1223
01:10:34,063 --> 01:10:37,274
And it doesn't feel lonely at all,
it feels...
1224
01:10:40,569 --> 01:10:41,946
it feels like any other Sunday,
1225
01:10:44,406 --> 01:10:46,367
when I'm surrounded by loved ones.
1226
01:10:48,494 --> 01:10:50,746
Oh, the-- the conversation
we'd have in the last couple of days
1227
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:55,000
about, you know, just feeling
like I've been missing things
1228
01:10:55,167 --> 01:10:56,961
or doing too much,
and I just had a moment of
1229
01:10:57,836 --> 01:10:58,879
kind of calm and...
1230
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:01,465
pause about it all,
and thought,
1231
01:11:02,466 --> 01:11:04,760
it's-- it's all great,
sure I can do things differently,
1232
01:11:04,843 --> 01:11:09,223
but not to look at anything past
as it having been a mistake
1233
01:11:09,390 --> 01:11:10,683
or being done wrong.
1234
01:11:10,808 --> 01:11:13,394
And then, that sort
of strange parallel with
1235
01:11:14,144 --> 01:11:15,854
this idea of acceptance of death
1236
01:11:16,105 --> 01:11:19,108
and letting go, and also with life
and letting go,
1237
01:11:19,650 --> 01:11:22,194
and doesn't mean you let go
of the steering wheel completely,
1238
01:11:22,278 --> 01:11:26,282
but just kind of enjoying the ride
and enjoying the view, you know?
1239
01:11:27,032 --> 01:11:30,536
There's something very peaceful
about that-- that acceptance.
1240
01:11:30,744 --> 01:11:33,247
And maybe it's fun the circle back
to this Sunset Pines.
1241
01:11:33,414 --> 01:11:37,126
This sort of, what feels maybe
like a tacky tagline.
1242
01:11:37,543 --> 01:11:39,586
"Sunset Pines, where we live
every day to the fullest."
1243
01:11:39,712 --> 01:11:43,340
-But the clue is in that title all along.
-Yeah.
