WISDOM - 50 UNIQUE AND ORIGINAL PORTRAITS
ZUCKERMAN, ANDREW
Inspired by the idea that wisdom is the greatest gift one generation can give to another, award-winning photographer and filmmaker Andrew Zuckerman interviewed, photographed and filmed 50 of the world's great writers, actors, artists, designers, politicians, musicians and religious and business leaders of our time. He posed seven questions to each of his subjects - all over 65 years of age - and their candid responses offer uniquely inspirational and often surprising insights.Thoughts from Nelson Mandela, Frank Gehry, Judi Dench, The Dalai Lama, Desmond Tutu, Clint Eastwood, Ted Kennedy, Robert Redford, Vaclav Havel, Terence Conran, Buzz Aldrin, Lou Reed, Willie Nelson, John Hume, Richard Adams, Michael Parkinson, Burt Bacharach, Andrew Wyeth, Vanessa Redgrave, Nadine Gordimer and many more reveal lifetimes of adversity and triumph, and present intimately private insights into very public lives. Beautifully photographed and accompanied by a documentary DVD, "Wisdom" is above all a timeless gift and a deeply revealing portrait of the common experiences that unite generations.
