Pensioners from across the planet compete in the World over 80s Table Tennis Championships in Inner Mongolia. Eight players, from four continents, with seven hundred and three years between them, guide us through the extraordinary world of Veteran sports. Hugh and Anson Hatford’s film interweaves the competition with intimate and candid portraits that explore the hope, passion, prejudice, and immediacy of growing old.

Terry(81) having been given a week to live, gets in sight of winning gold, Inge(89) has used table tennis to train her way out of the dementia ward she committed herself to. Australian legend Dorothy deLow is 100, and finds her self a mega celebrity in this rarefied world and Texan Lisa Modlich, a new-comer at 85 years old, is determined to do whatever it takes to win her first gold. PING PONG is as much about tenacity of the human spirit as it is meditation on mortality. With humor and sensitivity, the film emotionally engages us with the issues we all face in an ageing global population.
