Flossie Lewis (EXTENDED CUT): 94-year-old reunites with students for her last lecture

Video Description

More than 7 million people viewed teacher Flossie Lewis' Brief but Spectacular take on growing old in 2016. When it aired, her former students contacted us by the dozen, many to express appreciation for the profound impact she had on their lives. This is a full pilot we filmed a few years back with Flossie, which includes a heartfelt reunion with some of these former students. The original excerpt earned us (and Fossie) an Emmy-nomination in 2018 but the full film has never been in seen...until now. 0:00 Brief But Spectacular 2:12 Going viral 3:54 Upbringing 6:33 Understanding of death 7:18 Life in the Senior Living 9:57 Growing old 11:28 Tea time 12:50 "Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong" 14:18 Former students 15:40 One last lecture Follow Brief But Spectacular on our Socials: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/briefbutspectacular/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@briefbutspectacular Brief But Spectacular is an Emmy-nominated interview series that airs weekly on PBS NewsHour.
