“HBO presents Youth Knows No Pain- exploring America’s obsession with eternal youth in a documentary that debuts on August 31, 2009, exclusively on HBO. Youth Knows No Pain explores the obsession with anti – aging procedures and the pursuit of eternal youth, creating a $60 billion a year enterprise.”
“The anti – aging business, which caters to and fuels the fear of growing old, is a $60 billion a year enterprise in America. Mitch McCabe, the daughter of a plastic surgeon, has long been intrigued by the extreme measures that people take to maintain the appearance of youth.”
“In an era when plastic surgery and injectable substances have become socially accepted age fighting options, this documentary shows how fear of aging shape a youth-obsessed culture and supports a lucrative market that holds out the promise of miracle cures.
Mitch McCabe spent two years traveling the country to visit doctors, experts and anti-aging enthusiasts, interviewing hundreds of men and women ranging in age from 18to 93 for YOUTH KNOWS NO PAIN. In the process, her own opposition to “beating the clock” began to weaken.”
