Longevity Pole

Who doesn’t want to live forever or at least for 100+ years? But how do we make this dream come true? To answer the question, the filmmakers went to the town of Oymyakon in the Sakha Republic near the North Pole — the coldest place in the Northern Hemisphere.
Oymyakon is also the pole of longevity. Many generations of Oymyakon residents have effortlessly lived to be over 100. How is that possible? Is it the extremely rigorous climate or the purely organic diet? Or perhaps, the fact that for centuries, Oymyakon people have been isolated with barely any contacts with the outside world? What can we learn from those mysterious centenarians?
