פסטיבל הסרטים Anthem, שהתקיים החודש במסגרת FreedomFest בלאס וגאס, הציג סרט תיעודי קצר של NTD שמוכיח שלעולם לא מאוחר מדי למצוא אהבה. הסרט "הזוג הטרי" עוקב אחר זוג שמצא אושר ואהבה מחדש לאחר אובדן בן ובת זוג.
הבעל הטרי, גרי, בן ה-93 אומר: "אנחנו מקווים שיותר צעירים יצפו בסרט ויאמרו: 'אולי כדאי לי לשקול להתחתן'. אנחנו מבינים שיש הרבה צעירים בימינו שחושבים שנישואים כבר לא כדאיים. כשמוצאים בן זוג או בת זוג עם תחומי עניין דומים, הכול הופך למהנה יותר כשעושים אותו יחד".
"יש עושר עצום בלמצוא אדם בחיים שלך שאפשר לומר לו הכול, שאפשר לסמוך עליו, שיכול לעמוד לצידך, ואין לזה תחליף בעולם. ואני יודעת שיש כאן סיכון מסוים, אבל זה שווה את זה. באמת שווה. אבל חשוב לחפש מישהו שבאמת חולק איתכם ערכים, זה לא יכול להיות עניין של משיכה פיזית. זה לא יכול להיות בגלל שהיה נעים לערב אחד"... אל תחפשו, פשוט צאו החוצה והיו אתם עצמכם", אומרת אישתו, קרול. ____________________
The Anthem Film Festival at Freedom Fest is showcasing a documentary that proves it's
never too late to find love. The Newlyweds follows one couple who found happiness again
after the loss of their spouses. NTD's Chris Bobb has the story. I'm at the Anthem Film Festival in
Las Vegas, Nevada where the NTD Studios mini documentary Newlyweds was just screened.
I spoke to attendees as well as the stars of the show. You guys look, I think you look a lot younger
than you really are. Am I, am I allowed to, are we allowed to know? I'm 93 and a half. They were
married and their spouses die and then these two individuals find one another. You would think,
man you could be really depressed after you lose the love of your life naturally and sad and you
have a period of grieving uh but but that grief and that sorrow is not something that has to be
final. What both those individuals do in this film is they take the hopes of their spouses who
have passed and that that hope is that they'd be happy in the rest of this life. The immediate
vision that came to me was like this is a miracle. Being from their generation I thought it was
really really beautiful and they are amazing beautiful people. Love comes to you if you
really want to go and get it. You can find it. We also hope that more younger people would
look at this and say maybe I should consider getting married. We understand there are a lot
of young people these days that think that that's not worthwhile. You find a mate that
has so many interests and and and makes makes everything more enjoyable when you do it together.
There's such a richness about having somebody in your life that you can say anything to, that you
can trust, that can stand behind you and in front of you and there's just nothing like it in the
world and I know it's risky. It's worth it. It's worth it. It's worth it but don't but search out
somebody who really shares something. It can't be about physical attraction. It can't be because it
felt good tonight. It's and you know it. You know it. It's happened twice to me now. We knew almost
instantly when we started talking to each other. Don't look. Just put yourself out there and be
yourself. In Las Vegas, Nevada, Chris Bobb, NTD News.
