The Way We Get By
The Way We Get By America ReFramed
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. A deeply moving film about life and how to live it, The Way We Get By offers an intimate look at three of these greeters as they confront the universal losses that come with aging and rediscover their reason for living.
