"Retirement is a dead serious topic for some, and the film handles it with dignity and humor. A very effective approach."
Judge McGiffen, Delaware State Family Court
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 or the Bench
Each invites you to examine your assumptions, confront uncertainty, and begin shaping what comes next.
