The latest story from Zackary Canepari and Drea Cooper of California is a Place looks at a team of elderly synchronized swimmers called the “Aquadettes.” In addition to some charming footage of the swimmers practicing their sport, the film focuses on one Aquadette’s battle with multiple sclerosis and how medicinal marijuana helped her control her symptoms and regain her independence.
