Danny Glover in This Life (2008)
‘This LifeÂ’ is an honest, compelling look at tough realities that the world faces today. The trials of youth and aging are juxtaposed to deliver a strong statement about the unsettling forces of human nature in a society of technological advancement and unbridled urban growth. Three individuals from different walks of life deal with issues that resolve with startling and tragic consequences, forcing examination of circumstances and choices that could have changed the outcome. An ailing elderly widower, a disaffected, angry young man and a lonely adolescent teenage girl find themselves in situations that quickly go beyond their ability to control. The stories portrayed reflect familiar, everyday events and demonstrate how a single decision can change a life forever.
