AARP Names TWWGB 'Best Documentary' Of 2009
AARP The Magazine has named The Way We Get By Best Documentary in their ninth annual Movies For Grownups Awards. For years, AARP The Magazine has recognized filmmakers and actresses and actors who create movies that speak thematically to audiences age 50-plus and celebrate those in the industry in the same age demographic.
The awards will be presented at a Hollywood Gala on February 16th at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. All three subjects from The Way We Get By-- Bill, Joan and Jerry will be traveling from Maine to Hollywood with director Aron Gaudet and producer Gita Pullapilly to accept the award.
From the AARP Magazine website...
The Way We Get By
Written and directed by Aron Gaudet
Three great Americans-a grandmother of eight and a pair of elderly veterans-have greeted more than 900,000 U.S. troops as they've passed through the airport near their home in Bangor, Maine. To witness the trio's sacrifice in the face of personal problems is to know that patriotism doesn't always wear a uniform.
