ABOUT:

A look into the scientific endeavors in the pursuit of immortality.

Since the dawn of time mankind has sought after the definitive cure for what is believed to be an inevitability, aging. However, with developments in modern science, some medical professionals and entrepreneurs believe that they have come close to cracking the code.

Humans and animals begin to show signs of aging as chromosomes known as telomeres in their bodies begin to decay over time. Medical professionals and technology developers have begun experimenting with modern sciences hoping to pause or even stop this residual effect and that causes aging.

‘Forever Young’ meets with scientists, doctors and entrepreneurs deep in the pursuit for everlasting youth. The documentary shows viewers the potential advances to be made and the lengths to which pioneers in the field are willing to go to potentially keep their youth.
