Our Task
In partnership with the University of Eastern Finland and University of Namibia, our task was to produce a short documentary that captures the perspectives of social work scholars, professionals, and elderly individuals in both Namibia and Finland. This film explored the obstacles faced in providing health and social care to older populations and examined the role of ageism as a driving force behind discrimination, mistreatment, and suppression during the COVID-19 pandemic. This project stands in support of the human rights of older individuals.
