Even for the most techno-wary at the Toronto assisted living centers where the movie was primarily filmed, the lure of virtual visitation seems to go a good way toward bridging what's been a large and digitally contoured generation gap. Read full review

A feel-good movie about bridging the technological divide between youngsters and oldsters, Cyber-Seniors demonstrates that computer literacy is but a few mouse clicks away. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I feel inspired watching a fun & successful example of the generations collaborating. It was such a fun movie that I logged onto YouTube afterwards to see the contest videos and the nice tribute to Shira. Thank you to the Cassaday family for sharing their service project and family stories.… Expand
