Ten More Good Years – This thought-provoking documentary explores the situation faced by many aging members of the LGBT community. Members of the generation that kicked open the closet door in the 20th Century, they now find themselves confronting a new set of hurdles resulting from heterosexual bias. Jacoby gracefully fills in the details through the individual stories of four vibrant elders: a New York artist, a Bay Area transgender performer, a World War II veteran and former professional mime, and a San Franciscan who became homeless after his partner succumbed to cancer. Ten More Good Years delivers a blueprint for future action as it maps the growing network of organizations and individuals who are stepping in to care for senior members of the LGBT community.
Directed by Michael Jacoby.
