A PLACE TO LIVE (USA) “It’s a perfect storm of high land value and low median income. We’re in the midst of one of the worst housing crises in modern history.” So says talking-head Councilman Eric Garcetti in this documentary about the struggle by queer senior citizens to find housing in Los Angeles. The film follows seven elderly gays and lesbians from the time they first hear about the building of a housing complex for senior LGBT folk in early 2006, through the excruciating wait a year later to hear if they’ve won the lottery for admittance. As the seniors share their stories of illness, poverty and homophobia, they prove themselves heroes and heroines whose humor and resilience are as inspiring as their hardships are heart piercing.

Essential viewing …
Essential viewing for anyone concerned with how low income seniors particularly lesbian or gay seniors find dignity and community in the final years of their lives. Kudos to the subjects for their stories, the activists for not giving up and New Fest for programing. You do not have to be old to want to see this documentary; you do not have to be gay or lesbian to be concerned about the subjects of this film. Deeply moving and deeply empowering.

There are some advantages to being old. The expectations with its accompanying frustrations are gone. You can enjoy each day without the anxiety that plagues young people. If you have pretty good health, it’s not so bad. In a snug harbor, it’s wonderful.

Outstanding. I hope you have/find a distributor - or at least publish dvd. Sundance channel televised “Ten More Good Years”; maybe IFC Channel or HBP will televise your film. HBO backed “Semper Fi” and might have similar interest in your film. Good luck. Keep us posted…
