The human desire for meaning finds vivid expression in the fifteen stories chronicled in Alan Zweig’s quietly instructive 15 Reasons to Live. Inspired by Ray Robertson’s eponymous collection of essays, the film is structured episodically in a series of vignettes that mirror the thematic content of the book— work, love, friendship, solitude, to name a few. Find out what makes life worth living for Zweig’s fifteen eclectic subjects. Eschewing existential rhetoric around “ultimate purpose”, Zweig’s compassion for his subjects and their lived experiences ties the vignettes together in a visual essay that documents what inspires us to keep on keeping on.
With a special introduction by Alan Zweig.
