The OLD MAN WALKING CLUB follows six lifelong friends from Boston who met in kindergarten, survived adolescence together, stood beside one another at weddings, and then slowly drifted apart as careers, marriages, mortgages, and family life took over.When COVID unexpectedly brings them back together, a simple weekly walking ritual evolves into something much bigger: a lifeline.
As the men approach retirement age, the film follows them through health scares, aging parents, changing identities, bucket-list adventures, and the growing realization that friendship may be far more essential to survival than they ever imagined.
Blending humor, vulnerability, and expert insight from bestselling author Daniel Pink and Harvard relationship researcher Dr. Robert Waldinger, The OLD MAN WALKING CLUB explores loneliness, connection, masculinity, and the surprising power of simply showing up for one another.
Funny, intimate, and deeply human, the film asks a timely question: In an age of digital connection, we have never been more disconnected. Can old school friendship bring us back together?
