Gen Silent, LGBT aging documentary, streaming free

4:30 pm - 12/31/2011
Today’s LGBT seniors grew up under harsh oppression in the years before Stonewall. Many are estranged from their families and must rely on paid caregivers for assistance with mobility, healthcare, or basic life needs. But what if the only helpers available are intolerant, discriminatory, or abusive? Would you go back in the closet if it were necessary to survive? This moving documentary illustrates these issues through the heartrending stories of our community’s elders and the small but dedicated group of professionals working to provide them with compassionate, supportive care.
Run time: 62 min.

The movie isn't news but streaming for free is. Hope this is okay, mods.

Just your description alone make me not want to watch because it's probably going to be awful and heartbreaking and make me rage and want to hit people.

Arrgh.

The boomers are getting a lot of work done. Before them, I never even heard of the issue. So things are improving!
