Anne is an educator, documentary filmmaker and by my accounts, an inspiring activist. My Aunt Hilly (Hilary Carr Jones), who was thrilled to recently reconnect with her high school friend, Anne, after 62 years, knew I would also feel a kindred spirit connection with Anne and her meaningful work. Saddened by the suffering they saw around them, Anne and her business partner, John Ankele created a film production company in 1985 called \u2018Old Dog Documentaries\u2019, which is still thriving. \u201cTheir films are about the subtleties of the human experience and the complexities of our collective challenges.\u201d Woven through education and activism, Anne and John\u2019s  documentaries cover social justice, climate change, spirituality and aging.   Check out the show notes to find links to Anne\u2019s website, films, and trailers. I am confident you too, will resonate with Anne\u2019s vitality, humility, wisdom and her compassionate, courageous heart so clearly infused in all her films.  Enjoy the podcast!
