CARE (37 mins) Filmed entirely by the staff in the home, it shows that life can be joyful at any age, as the residents celebrate their own milestones, from 100th birthdays to winning at bingo, enjoying Christmas parties and joining in VE Day anniversary celebrations. The film raises questions about how we as a society value older people and those who care for them, giving an emotional first hand insight into life in the home, and those who bring such commitment and heart to residential care. The film is a tribute to the resilience of the residents and the dedication and compassion of the carers. Told through their own words, experiences (and newly learned camera skills), the film shines a light on the unsung heroes of social care.
