SYNOPSIS
We have COVID-19 to thank for pulling the curtain back on a national crisis that has been going on for over fifty years. Greed and lack of transparency causes millions of people insufferable and often deadly consequences every year. Elder care has quietly morphed into a cutthroat world of private equity and real estate investment trust-backed nursing homes. To put it bluntly: follow the money. There is a lot.
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD PEOPLE chronicles the unimaginable last 6 months of this filmmaker’s mother’s life in a 5 Star nursing home in Los Angeles. Devoid of any quality of life, I fought on the front lines of this systemic catastrophe daily, but despite my relentless advocating, my mother suffered and died from what was inarguably egregious nursing home neglect and abuse. I am just one of the millions who had absolutely no idea how broken and corrupt the nursing home system truly is until I attempted to navigate it.
With over 70 incredibly powerful interviews, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD PEOPLE will take the audience deep into the bowels of nursing home neglect and abuse that is a systemic crisis. One that will continue to grow exponentially worse without immediate attention. It is a cautionary tale and a rally for change.
Because, although this is my mother’s story… it’s really everyone’s.
