The feature-length documentary explores how Financial Planning will become the key to the Baby Boomer generation dealing with debt, divorce, disease and death in retirement.
Featured experts include Justin Urquhart Stewart from Seven Investment Management, Tina Weeks from Serenity Financial Planning, Fiona Tait from Scottish Life, Garry White of Charles Stanley, Clive Bolton from Aviva and Claire Walsh of Aspect 8.
Paul Lewis, who presents Money Box on BBC Radio 4, has narrated the film.
Mr Bamford said: "All of the expert interviews were a real eye opener, particularly learning about the various non-financial issues facing Baby Boomers, such as dementia and dying.
"Carrying out the research required to conduct these interviews, and the interviews themselves, has definitely helped me develop a deep understanding of the issues faced by the post-war generation as they enter retirement.
"I've been applying this learning in client meetings recently and feel it has helped to take my client relationships to a much deeper level."
