A Chorus for the Young at Heart

Archival videos shine light on everyday human qualities.

Here are two short ones from Media Burn that portray the kind of couples we all know—they’ve been together forever. They know the good things in life.

The first is by Maxi Cohen in 1991 on the Jersey shore where her family lived. They appeared on Episode 304 of The 90’s.

The second couple, the Falkenburgs, lived in a Chicago seniors’ apartment building a few blocks from Wrigley Field. Footage is taken from “It’s a Living: Paper Roses,” produced by Maxi Cohen and Joel Gold in 1976.
