Young@Heart, a new release from Fox Searchlight Pictures, is set to kick off in theaters April 9th. A recent hit at the SXSW Film Conference & Festival, the film tells the tale of the Young@Heart Chorus, an ensemble of singing Senior Citizens formed at a retirement home in Northampton, MA in 1982, whose taste in material run irrepressibly toward contemporary pop and rock. The group, whose membership ranges from 73 through 92 years of age, performs choral renditions of songs by Outkast, Nirvana, Sonic Youth and Radiohead, just to name a few.

But Young@Heart isn’t just about having kitschy fun watching the elderly sing the music of a younger generation. The film also shows the illness and loss experienced within the group, which frames the music they create in a whole new light - such as the video clip of “I Will Survive” below - and gives us a portrait of Seniors refusing to give in to the cruel demands of age by making music with their friends and having a great time doing it.

You can and help Senior Citizens in your area by volunteering with Little Brothers, a national non-profit organization dedicated to helping relieve loneliness and isolation amongst the elderly. You might not be able to get them dancing at the local bowling alley to some hot sax, as seen in the clip, but you’ll certainly be a ray of sunshine to someone in their golden years.
