Gen Silent (2010, USA. 63 minutes.)
An award-winning film documenting elderly LGBT people who go back into the closet to survive in the healthcare system. Here we see meet six LGBT elders and a wide range of paid caregivers: From those who are specifically trained to make LGBT seniors feel safe, to the other end of the spectrum, where LGBT elders face discrimination, neglect or abuse. As we journey through the challenges that these men and women face, we also see reasons for hope as each subject crosses paths with a small but growing group of impassioned professionals trying to wake up the long-term and healthcare industries to their plight.
