The Way We Get By

A deeply moving film about life and how to live it. Beginning as a seemingly idiosyncratic story about troop greeters - a group of senior citizens who gather daily at a small airport to thank American soldiers departing and returning from Iraq, the film quickly turns into a moving, unsettling and compassionate story about aging, loneliness, war and mortality. When its three subjects aren’t at the airport, they wrestle with their own problems: failing health, depression, mounting debt. Filmmakers in-person.

Outstanding work. Bring a handkerchief and something to sip, unless you routinely swallow lumps in your throat. Catch this again on Veterans Day on PBS.
