Retirement Revolution
Retirement Revolution is a groundbreaking two-part documentary that takes a deep and comprehensive look at the financial challenges facing the Baby Boomer generation. The series, hosted by broadcast journalist Paula Zahn, eliminates fear, offers hope, and affirms that it's never too late to begin preparation for retirement.
Part One, Hazards and Vicissitudes, illustrates the origins of retirement and how it has evolved over the past several decades, from the Depression era, the birth of Social Security and Medicare to today's climate of economic uncertainty and what it means for Baby Boomers' financial futures. Part Two, On Our Own, continues to explore the challenges the Boomers face today, and helps viewers assume personal responsibility so they will be able to plan for retirement on their own terms.
Retirement Revolution is being distributed exclusively through PBS on March 31, 2008 and April 7, 2008, at 10:00 pm Eastern Daylight Time.
