View the trailer for The Way We Get By on the Hot Docs YouTube channel
Bangor International Airport in Maine is the launching pad for troops on their way to Iraq and Afghanistan. It's also their first glimpse of home when they return. A small group of Bangor senior citizens have made it their mission to personally welcome and send off each individual soldier. Since 2003, they have greeted more than 800,000. The Way We Get By follows Bill, Joan, and Jerry as they sit on "hot standby." Joan, who struggles with chronic pain, often sleeps in her recliner awaiting a call that a plane is arriving. Jerry and his faithful dog Flanagan have become so attached to the airport they often sit in a car at the end of the runway to watch the planes take off. Bill, who battles financial debt and loneliness, is always the first to greet the troops as they arrive. A moving look at what millions of seniors face every day. Shannon Abel.
