Insight: Feb 15

Insight returns to SBS this week with host Kumi Taguchi moderating studio forums.

The first topic for 2022 is “Growing Older, Loving Life.”

Growing older isn’t what it used to be. With a longer life span, and free from the restrictions of work and family, older Australians are bucking the trends of the previous generations. On this episode of Insight, we meet and celebrate those who are determined to live their best life, regardless of age and societal expectations.

At age 79, Janice Lorraine is a world bodybuilding champion who’s won 13 international titles. When she turns 80 later this year, she’ll be gunning for her next championship win. Kelli Brushett is a divorced grandmother who helped raise her first grandchild for the first three years of his life. While she originally planned to grow older with her husband and travel the country, she’s now ready to leave everything behind and take on a new solo adventure. For 76-year-old businesswoman, socialite and reality TV star, Christa Billich, life is still full of fun, good friends, parties, tantric sex, and plastic surgery. Christa has been married to her 87-year-old husband, world-renowned artist, Charles Billich, for 35 years. Charles still works every day and neither of them plan to slow down any time soon.

8:30pm Tuesday on SBS.
