GEN SILENT”: DOCUMENTARY SHEDDING LIGHT ON DISCRIMINATION FACED BY LGBT SENIORS
09.26.17
Alzheimer’s Association collaborated with Laguna Beach Seniors to screen “Gen Silent”, the critically acclaimed documentary by award-winning filmmaker Stu Maddux, follows the stories of six lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender seniors as they age in a healthcare system that can at times be hostile.
A free screening of the film will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 27 at The Susi Q Senior Center in Laguna Beach. A panel discussion with local advocates will follow the film. Panelists include: Sarah Kasman, Executive Director of Shanti OC; Peg Corley, Executive Director of LGBT Center OC; Larry Ricci, Founder of Club Q at the Susi Q; and Kim O’Dell, Certified Senior Advisor.
“Gen Silent” puts a face on what experts in the film call an epidemic: LGBT seniors so afraid of discrimination by care providers or bullying by other seniors that many simply go back into the closet. Caregivers, allies, advocates, and healthcare professionals are encouraged to attend.
Space is limited and pre-registration is required.
To register, call 800.272.3900 or email lthaiker@alz.org
The Susi Q is at 380 Third Street in Laguna Beach.
