Women of ’69, Unboxed

This film offers a deeply personal glimpse into the lives of women from the 1960s, focusing on a vibrant group of graduates from 1969—the same year as Hillary Clinton—who have recently turned 65 and are beginning to navigate the concept of the New Old Age. Unlike their parents, who often expected less of themselves at this stage, many of these accomplished individuals are seeking more, experiencing what they call a Third Wind. Where will this newfound energy lead them? Some are determined to continue making an impact. The catalyst for these reflections and memories is their class’s yearbook. Each photograph, created in collaboration with a provocative Turkish artist, captures the daring, rebellious, and creative spirit of the 60s. Interestingly, this yearbook wasn’t a traditional book; instead, the portraits were delivered to each alumna as loose pages in a box. This is why the film is metaphorically titled “Unboxed!” Written by Anonymous.
