An upcoming PBS documentary, called “Retirement Revolution: The New Reality”, will take a highly personal look at a number of individuals as they reach the age of retirement. While the documentary will cover the fears created by the current economic turmoil, it will focus on everlasting hope and the changes the individuals are making to make a comfortable retirement a reality.

Paula Zahn, the television news anchor, will be the one reporting throughout the documentary.
Said Zahn: “For millions of Americans, the recession has effectively eliminated their plans to retire. They’re up against lost jobs, diminished retirement plan investments and rising health care costs. The New Reality will help them navigate these troubling waters by offering solid advice, opinions and insight about money, health and Medicare from a host of economists and financial planning experts.”
“Retirement Revolution: The New Reality” will be sponsored by MassMutual, the leading mutual life insurance company that was founded in 1851.
Said Elaine A. Sarsynski of MassMutual: “The recession has been a wake-up call for many people who are just now realizing they may not have the right plan in place for a successful retirement – but the good news is they’re starting to do something about it. The New Reality allows MassMutual to help bring national attention to the importance of planning and saving for retirement; MassMutual is committed to education regarding retirement, helping individuals achieve their definition of a successful retirement.”
Look for this PBS documentary to premiere on September 15th.
