In the Philippines, prostitution is not just lucrative business – it's an industry. Hope in Heaven, by filmmaker Meredith Ralston, examines the country's sex trade and the young women it traps. Seen through the eyes of two idealistic female students and a male university professor, the film captures two years of Mila's life and the people who befriend her, the poverty and squalor she lives in, and her hope that one day a foreigner will rescue her. It is poignant and heartbreaking.

Through many diverse faces (from artists and actors to an opera singer and a Buddhist nun), this DVD takes the viewer on a poignant, engaging journey that shows aging, itself, as an ongoing creative process that fully unravels only when we embrace the richness that the "later half" of our lives can bring.With grounded honesty, these older adults address their creativity, intimacy, being alone, accepting the reality of death, and the blessings of peace and nature as they grow older–with hope. Their insights on the process and effects of aging show us how to adapt gracefully to the changes taking place in our bodies, in our relationships, and in the very circumstances of our lives.With the wisdom gained here, viewers will be encouraged to embrace the opportunities of life–at every stage.

A humorous and heartwarming feature documentary, CYBER-SENIORS adds to the important international conversation about the growing generation gap.

Finding their footing rather quickly, the group moves on to compete for the most YouTube views while swiftly building their online inventory of friends.
