Sheila Malkind | 82

Sheila Malkind is the Founder and Executive Director of the Legacy Film Festival on Aging, which celebrated its 10th year in 2021. The festival “celebrates the aging process as profound and meaningful, often challenging, and always courageous”. Sheila had a stroke a couple years before this interview and had to work on recovering some of her speech and mobility. We are fortunate that she took the time to share her perspectives on aging and the pandemic with us.
