Lunch – a conversation with older people about food
This short film explores the powerful links between age, food, health and culture. Early in 2026, we sat down for home-cooked meals and honest conversations with six older people from diverse backgrounds. From a lifelong vegan activist to a man who has never cooked, their stories challenge stereotypes and reveal a richer, more surprising picture of later life.
Funded by Feeding Bristol and created with filmmaker Neil Maggs – known for capturing the voices and lived experiences of ordinary people, this documentary puts the lives of older people centre-stage.
