Wisdom: Ideas: (incl. DVD) (Wisdom Series) - Hardcover

Inspired by the idea that one of the greatest gifts one generation can give to another is the wisdom it has gained from experience, award-winning photographer and filmmaker Andrew Zuckerman has captured the voices, physical presence, and written world of iconic over-65-year olds to create profound, honest and truly revealing portraits. Based on his acclaimed large-format book "Wisdom", published in autumn 2008, these new, well-priced smaller books and films - included here on DVDs - provide an extraordinary legacy for the generations that follow and timeless portraits of the common themes that unite us all.

Andrew Zuckerman was born in Washington DC in 1977. After an internship at the International Center of Photography in New York, he attended New York University's School of Visual Arts to study photography and film, and graduated in 1999. His photography and film work has been commissioned extensively for leading international brands and he has received numerous awards. WISDOM, a book, film and traveling exhibition, was launched in October 2008 and is Zuckerman's most ambitious project to date. With the support of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, he travelled the globe to photograph and interview the world's most eminent elders, creating a comprehensive account of their perspectives and an inspirational record to pass down for generations.
