誰說人老了只能在家裡發呆、打瞌睡還有等死！這群來自高雄的阿公阿嬤，生活絕對比年輕人過得還要充實。為了在世運舞台上表演啦啦隊，炎熱的夏日裡，阿嬤換上迷你裙，阿公袒露小白肌，每日勤奮的練習好幾個小時！紀錄片導演楊力州在嚴苛的環境下拍攝《征服北極》之時，開始思索關於人老的議題，於是他將鏡頭轉向老人身上，拍攝出《被遺忘的時光》以及《青春啦啦隊》，探索自己問題的答案，也讓觀眾看見老人生活的不同樣貌。



Who says the elderly could only wait for their deaths? A group of them, averagely aged 70, are determined to break the stereotype. They not only formed a team of cheerleaders but fought for the opportunity to perform at the opening ceremony of the World Game in Kaohsiung in July 2009. Their 9-month preparation left not only them but their families the most memorable memories of their lives.
