Yesterday, I let you know that I was excited about the opportunity to view a showing of Duty Free. The movie was awesome! The film was presented by CIRKEL, an organization that connects people of different generations for mentorship and wisdom-sharing. It makes sense that they would sponsor this inspiring documentary about a mother and son who work together to overcome the challenges the mother was faced with when she lost her much-needed job at the age of 75.
It was very cool that, after watching the movie, we were able to interact with Rebecca Danigelis and Sian-Pierre Regis (the mother/son duo) real time over Zoom!
If you missed it, don't despair! The link to the discussion as well as how you can watch the film is included below. This is a perfect feel-good Mother's Day activity. It also raises the awareness of ageism and the challenges that many older Americans are faced with. You can also find out more about CIRKEL from the message below.
Email from Charlotte at CIRKEL:
Thank you to the 300+ amazing people who came to our screening of Duty Free last night. It was a CIRKEL event record and a really eye-opening conversation.
Here is the recorded discussion between Sian-Pierre Regis, his mom Rebecca Danigelis, and myself.
DUTY FREE is now available for streaming and in select theaters nationwide! For more information visit: https://www.dutyfreefilm.com/watch-the-film
Let's all do what we can to support the film's success. Tell your friends and families to see it, and discuss the film with them.
To learn more about CIRKEL, check out our website and consider joining our community of professionals 20-70+. We want to create a future where workers like Rebecca do not have to worry about being pushed out of their careers.
CIRKEL members are matched each month to someone outside of their age bubble for two-way career support. We're offering a special Mother's Day gift deal: $99 for 3 months of membership. Give back the love and support to someone who always supports you (or gift it to yourself)!
Have a fantastic Mother's Day weekend,
Charlotte
