Film Synopsis:
While exploring her new home, a girl named Coraline (Dakota Fanning) discovers a secret door, behind which lies an alternate world that closely mirrors her own but, in many ways, is better. She rejoices in her discovery, until Other Mother (Teri Hatcher) and the rest of her parallel family try to keep her there forever. Coraline must use all her resources and bravery to make it back to her own family and life.

Lyn Slater, Ph.D.
is a writer, activist, social worker, former professor and serial reinventer. Throughout her 47-year career as a social worker she has creatively accessed performance, storytelling, photography, fashion, social media and the internet in the service of her advocacy work. In 2014, when she started a fashion blog at the age of 61, she instigated a change in how older persons were represented in the media as well as challenged stereotypes about what it means to be an older adult. At the height of her success, she walked away when her project became more about consumerism than culture change. She shares her experience in her memoir, How to Be Old. Today Lyn writes a Substack newsletter, How to Be Old, and a column in her local newspaper that seeks to engage residents of all ages in the project of making their city an age-friendly, inclusive and sustainable community.
