On February 13 from 10 AM to Noon MT, Changing the Narrative will host a Colorado screening of Duty Free, a film about a son’s attempt to get his 75-year-old mother back on her feet after she is fired from her lifelong job. They go off on a bucket list adventure. We will watch the movie together virtually, and then have an opportunity to discuss the experiences with the filmmaker and his mom. Here’s what Sian-Pierre had to say about his reason for making the film:
I hope that we, as a country, can re-center our notions of what it looks like to be “old” in America today. To surprise, delight , and inspire an audience with a character we don’t often get to see in film—the 75-year-old everywoman.
We are thrilled to make this inspiring film available to you for for free, but please register in advance here.

It’s 2021 and that means: there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. While 2020 was one of our most challenging years that I can remember (between #workingfromhomewithkids, to its impact on commuter transit services, to getting used to new requirements for sanitization on transit and beyond), it’s time for a fresh start for 2021.
