The documentary titled "I'm Choosing to Age Successfully" centers around the theme of 'Health for All' and carries the purpose of motivating older adults to lead healthy, physically active, and socially engaged lives. Through this compelling film, we delve into the remarkable story of an elderly woman whose wisdom and self-awareness serve as a powerful inspiration for society at large, encouraging us to strive towards the vision of a 'Swasthya Bharat' (Healthy India). "I'm Choosing to Age Successfully" serves as a reminder that age should never be a barrier to leading a fulfilling and vibrant life.
