Description

This video follows two artists, Thelma Pepper and Jeff Nachtigall, as they work with the residents of Sherbrooke Community Centre, a long-term care facility in Saskatoon.  As Thelma documents the residents through her own portrait photography, Jeff is the artist-in-residence, helping them make art.  The film explores how creativity can transform people's lives and how art can provide a sense of life beyond disability.
