For Veteran’s Day: The Way We Get By

Director Aron Gaudet is the son of a “greeter,” one of the volunteers in Maine who make sure that every soldier coming through the airport gets a warm showing of appreciation. He told me, “We started seeing these parallels, too, all of these people going off to war are concerned about mortality and so are the older people who are greeting them.” This is a lovely film, and very appropriate for Veteran’s Day.
