Southeast Missouri State University’s Department of Social Work plans to present a free public viewing of “The Age of Love” on March 20.

The award-winning documentary, which follows the comic and poignant adventures of 10 seniors who attend a speed dating event for 70- to 90-year-olds and seek another chance at love, is scheduled to be shown at 4 p.m. in the John and Betty Glenn Convocation Center at Southeast’s River Campus in Cape Girardeau.

The public is invited to the viewing, which will be followed by a discussion and question and answer session led by the documentary’s director Steven Loring.
