They moved to paradise. But is it? Older New Yorkers find a retirement community in Florida where they must wrestle with nothing that would surprise you -- but what they have to say about it, may. Meet the residents who are amusing, poignant, philosophic, cheeky and brutally honest. 

Was an Academy Award Best Documentary (Short Subject) nominee.

Please join us for Jody's Documentary Film Series -- you'll be glad you did!  Contact laurel@hmelders.org  or (651) 209-6542 for more information.
