YOUTH KNOWS NO PAIN


From elective cosmetic surgeries to toxic injections to expensive creams, America's anti-aging business is a $60 billion a year enterprise that caters to and fuels the fear of growing old. As the daughter of a plastic surgeon, Mitch McCabe has long been intrigued by the extreme measures people take to maintain the appearance of youth. Debuting MONDAY, AUG. 31 (9:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), the exclusive HBO documentary YOUTH KNOWS NO PAIN is her funny and troubling portrait of a country desperate to stay forever young.

Wilder Knight II; produced by Linda Chiu and Kathleen Rosenbloom; edited by Michael Taylor; written by Elena Parker; original music by David Majzlin. For HBO: supervising producer, Sarah Bernstein; executive producer, Sheila Nevins.
