"The Way We Get By"
On call 24 hours a day for the past five years, a group of senior citizens has made history by greeting nearly 800,000 American troops at a tiny airport in Bangor, Maine. The Way We Get By is an intimate look at three of these greeters as they confront the universal losses that come with aging and rediscover their reason for living.
Bill Knight, Jerry Mundy and Joan Gaudet find the strength to overcome their personal battles and transform their lives through service. This inspirational and surprising story shatters the stereotypes of today’s senior citizens as the greeters redefine the meaning of community.
A co-production of Dungby Productions and ITVS in association with WGBH and Maine Public Broadcasting Network (MPBN) with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
If you are interested in attending, RSVP to Katie Steward, Coordinator of Community Outreach by email at katies@knpb.org or 775-682-7802.
These programs are a collaboration with P.O.V., the acclaimed independent non-fiction film series on PBS. Visit the series' companion site online at pbs.org/pov.
