Keeping Dad Alive

Margaret’s 95-year-old dad Richard is living under lockdown in his senior living residence during the coronavirus pandemic. In conversations with his five children, Richard talks about what he loves most in life and his hopes for the future. The conversations are glimpses into what sustains us over a long life and an antidote to the tragedy of separation from our elders during this pandemic. They capture the sheer joy of talking, singing, and laughing with Richard, a man of simple pleasures, expansive intelligence, historical perspective. and progressive politics.
