You Planned Your Career. Why Are You Guessing at the Ending?
Discover how to navigate one of life's most significant changes by exploring:
The changing meaning of retirement
Identity beyond professional success
Purpose and fulfillment
Health, vitality, and longevity
Reinvention and new possibilities
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 on Trial is a documentary project with two distinct streams:
For professionals 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.
