Retirement on Trial: A documentary film project
Retirement on Trial: A documentary film project
Retirement on Trial is a documentary-driven platform that reframes retirement as one of the most important—and least examined—transitions of our lives. Moving beyond the traditional focus on finances, the project invites individuals and professionals to confront the deeper questions of identity, purpose, and readiness. Through film, conversations, and structured programming, Retirement on Trial challenges people to approach their future with the same clarity, intention, and critical thinking they bring to the rest of their lives—because retirement is not simply a milestone, but a case that deserves to be thoughtfully argued.
Two paths. One question.
Retirement is not just a financial milestone—it is a life transition that demands reflection, strategy, and intention.
Retirement on Trial is a documentary project with two distinct streams:
For professionals and individuals navigating life after work
For lawyers and judges facing the unique challenges of leaving legal practice
Each invites you to examine your assumptions, confront uncertainty, and begin shaping what comes next.

Across professions, retirement is often framed as a financial milestone.
But for many, it is something far more complex:
A shift in identity
A loss—or reinvention—of purpose
A transition few feel fully prepared for
This stream of Retirement on Trial explores the emotional, psychological, and practical realities of stepping into a new phase of life—inviting individuals to engage with retirement earlier, and more intentionally.

For lawyers and judges, retirement carries unique challenges.
A profession built on expertise, authority, and identity does not easily step aside. The habits that define success in law—control, precision, responsibility—can make transition particularly difficult.
The legal-focused stream of Retirement on Trial reframes retirement as a familiar process:
Identifying the issues
Testing assumptions
Weighing evidence
Making a reasoned decision
It invites legal professionals to approach their own future with the same discipline they bring to their work.
