Watch50 Years and a Few Puss Kittens Wiser
is a short documentary film by Anastasia Kirillova. Featured on the BBC Film Network which showcases new British filmmaking, this mixed-media film weaves some fantastic narrative and dialogue together from a set of couples who have been married for more than 50 years. An excellent use of 8 minutes of your time.
