“The extraordinary documentary *Aquí sigo* reveals a truth as simple and as profound as its own title: elderly people who claim their place in the present, not the past to which we tend to relegate them. Lorenzo Hagerman’s camera closely follows men and women over 86 years old from seven countries across three continents, whose common thread is the fullness with which they enjoy their existence. All the endearing ‘elders’ in the documentary reveal the secret of ancestral wisdom: knowing they have nothing else, they live each day for what it is—a gift, which is why it’s called the present. Nothing more.”
