P.O.V.
On call 24 hours a day for the past five years, a group of senior citizens has made history by greeting over 900,000 American troops at a tiny airport in Bangor, Maine. The Way We Get By is an intimate look at three of these greeters as they confront the universal losses that come with aging and rediscover their reason... for living. Bill Knight, Jerry Mundy and Joan Gaudet find the strength to overcome their personal battles and transform their lives through service. This inspirational and surprising story shatters the stereotypes of today's senior citizens as the greeters redefine the meaning of community. A co-production of Dungby Productions and ITVS in association with WGBH and Maine Public Broadcasting Network with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

That thumbnail reminds me of the documentary about that boy. I was pregnant and super emotional when I watched it so I pretty much cried to whole time.

I think it's more about finding the correct platform for people to view these documentaries. What I have found teaching documentary production is that students watch more on youtube then on broadcast, cable and certainly theatrical. It's hard to find any content delivery service that will allow you to watch an archive of documentaries on demand. This is where I think the future most go. Because young people are NOT watching television.

Documnetaries & 'Movies' are of course migrating to online distribution. Seems it's a matter of getting the system evolved enough to handle it.
I watch as many Frontline & Nova on iTunes. It would be great if there could be more selection out there.
