Three years of research distilled into 88 minutes.

Forever Young was filmed over three years across three continents—from the cutting-edge labs of the Buck Institute in Northern California to the villages of Japan.

The result is years of research distilled into a single 88-minute documentary featuring scientists, physicians, and thinkers exploring the biggest questions of our lifetime.

WATCH THE FILM

An Unprecedented Gathering Of Minds

Never before has a single documentary assembled this caliber of scientific authority to reveal the future of human health.

These are just 3 of the 20+ featured visionaries redefining the human timeline.

DR. ERIC VERDIN

The Voice of the Scientific Frontier

As CEO of the Buck Institute—one of the world’s first independent research centers dedicated solely to aging—Dr. Verdin sits at the nerve center of the longevity revolution. He bridges the gap between groundbreaking laboratory discovery and the protocols that will define how we live for the next century.

DR. NIR BARZILAI

The "Godfather" of Longevity Science

Dr. Barzilai is the visionary behind the TAME trial—the first-ever FDA-approved study to treat aging as a medical condition rather than an inevitability. To understand the future of the human lifespan, you must hear from the man currently leading the charge to rewrite it.

DR. STEVE HORVATH

The Architect of the Biological Clock

The creator of the world-renowned "Horvath Clock," he discovered the epigenetic code that reveals your true biological age. By mastering the metrics of time within our cells, Dr. Horvath has provided the first accurate compass for the reversal of human aging.

SYNOPSIS

In the not-too-distant future, Ava wakes to her AI assistant's daily report: "Good morning. Your biometrics are optimal. You are looking as young as ever." Her annual epigenetic reset keeps her body young. It sounds like science fiction — but it isn't.

Forever Young takes audiences inside the laboratories where scientists are dismantling one of humanity's oldest certainties: that aging is inevitable. For the first time in history, researchers can measure biological age, slow its progression, and in some cases reverse it. Through extraordinary access to the world's leading longevity scientists, the film captures a genuine scientific revolution accelerated by artificial intelligence, and the fierce controversies it has ignited.

But Forever Young refuses to stop at the science. As the breakthroughs mount, deeper questions emerge: Who will have access to a longer life? What happens to love, purpose, and meaning when death is no longer inevitable? The film's most powerful revelations have nothing to do with technology at all.

Optimistic, rigorous, and deeply human, Forever Young is the rare documentary that could change how you live — starting today.
