Program Description
"Bin Ageism powerfully shows the impact of ageism on younger and older characters, and asks the viewer to sign up to a campaign to fight this negative force, by pledging to Bin Ageism! through three actions: Think Twice, Know Your Rights and Spread the Word."
"Ageism affects us all, throughout our lives. Strangers, bosses, even family members make judgements about us based on our age, not our ability or potential. Ageism operates at work, in the health system, on the tube, at home. Magic Me has 25 years' experience of bringing younger and older people together. They tell us about the impact of ageism, how it limits people's expectations and their potential. That's why we want to Bin Ageism."
