Bob Weighton was the oldest man in the world. He didn’t know the secret to his longevity but he did have a wealth of wisdom beyond how he lived for 112 years. Bob cared greatly for the environment and had a passion for woodwork using recycled materials. He also believed in the power of friendship to overcome prejudices and contribute to a more peaceful world. Bob lived in the same neighborhood as my Grandma and I decided to make a short film about him after hearing that he grew frustrated with media interviews primarily asking him about the secret to a long life. I wanted to share some of his perspectives on life. I believe that the older generation is not respected enough in our society and that young people have much to learn from listening to the insights of our elders. Bob died peacefully in his sleep on May 28, 2020. I’m grateful I had the opportunity to meet Bob and create a short film about his inspiring outlook on life.
