Made-in-Maine documentary of the individuals who greet American troops home at the Bangor International Airport. By award-winning film director, Aron Gaudet from Old Town, Maine.
Beginning as a seemingly idiosyncratic story about troop greeters — a group of senior citizens who gather daily at a small airport to thank American soldiers departing and returning from Iraq, the film quickly turns into a moving, unsettling and compassionate story about aging, loneliness, war and mortality. 84 minutes. Sponsored by Bangor Savings Bank and MPBN.
