“They Saw The Sun First” by Stefan Hunt

NYC-based director Stefan Hunt compiles a series of interviews with New York’s elderly in this poignant short. “They Saw The Sun First” is a beautiful expression of the wisdom to be gained from our elders, brought to life through the performative movement and magic of imagination. A message that could not be more relevant given the current state of the world. Watch above and see full credits below!
