Sundance 2026 - The Oldest Person in the World and Sentient

Send us Fan MailThese two Sundance Film Festival documentaries discuss human life, both in how we deal with aging, and the lengths that we go to live longer.The Oldest Person in the World chronicles the ever-changing Guinness World Record holders of the title of oldest person alive. Director Sam Green discusses his curiosity with our obsession with death, why the record holders are mostly women, and how the story became something bigger that he never saw coming.Sentient exposes the hidden world of pain in laboratory research (both from the animals and the scientists that work in the field), questioning the justifications for harming animals and our alternatives in the future. Director Tony Jones sits down to share his frustration with vaccine deniers in the US, how we can move forward without animal testing, and why his goal with this film is to make the audience feel like you're on an emotional roller coaster. Follow director Sam Greene on IGThank you to our sponsor, Standard Deviant BrewingSupport the showThanks for listening and for your support!
