Think I'll catch this.
The Way We Get By - Trailer from The Way We Get By on Vimeo.
SYNOPSIS
Inside a small airport in central Maine, a group of senior citizens are making history by using handshakes and hugs to play a critical role in the Iraq war. The Way We Get By is an inspirational story about how these handshakes can change a person's life. Since March 2003, nearly one million soldiers and marines from across the country have been greeted at the Bangor International Airport. With each flight, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, these volunteers have been there to send them off and welcome them home.

Oh man, this looks like a real tear jerker. You had better bring a full box of tissues to the theatre (<--- like that? Fancy, no? It's not the theater, it's the *theatre*.)

It amazes me to see how people of all ages can be so inspiring, doing simple things and delivering acts of generosity as simple as shaking someone's hand and welcoming them home.
I am looking forward to seeing this documentary and shaking Butters' hand again, soon.
Hang in there guys...
