The Oldest People in the World 1 of 5 - C4 Health Documentary

Award-winning filmmaker Daisy Asquith asks some of the oldest people in the world the question everyone wants answered: what is the secret to long life?

As life expectancy continues to soar, more and more of us are living to well over the age of 100.
Emma Tillman is 114. Her enormous family visits her in Connecticut for a party: at the last count there were 39 great-grandchildren, 17 great great-grandchildren, 10 great great great-grandchildren and two great great great great-grandchildren.
In contrast, 112-year-old Gertrude Baines in downtown LA is the last surviving member of her family.
In Japan, active centenarian Tsuru runs a small shop and tends her garden in Okinawa, while over in Portugal, 113-year-old Maria de Jesus has to be wheeled out in a chair to take the sun in the afternoon.
Back in England, 111-year-old Henry stresses the importance of having a good sense of humour. This revealing film journeys across three continents to give an extraordinary insight into what it's like to have lived over three centuries.
