Bitterroot

Lois is 83. Getting old sucks, but she’s rolling with it. When age slows her down, what does she do in her spare time? She bowls. Satisfying Lois’s competitive spirit, bowling keeps her active and relieved from the social isolation many older Montanans are facing at staggering rates.

Life in the Slow Lane

Shot over a period of 16 years, BORN TO WORK is a contemplative portrait of 93-year-old John Hoiland, as he works his ranch in Sweetgrass, Montana. We follow along on his sometimes lonely journey.
