Elders

Channel 4 | Short

After leaving India for the industrial north of England in the 1960's, Karim (109 years old) and Kartari Chand (102) never imagined they would end up being married longer than any other couple in the country. Their personal story of family, immigration, love, and the working-class is both inspiring and honest as we gain a valuable insight into how different cultures respect their elders.
