About the film:

Gen Silent is an award-winning documentary feature film by Stu Maddux chronicling the lives of six LGBT seniors as they deal with surviving in a care system that is hostile to their lives. This film puts a face on what experts in the film call an epidemic: gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender seniors so afraid of discrimination, or worse, in long-term health care that many go back into the closet.
Gen Silent is a film of enlightenment that brings these issues into the open for the first time. The film shows the wide range in quality of paid caregivers – from those who are specifically trained to make LGBT seniors feel safe, to the other end of the spectrum, where LGBT elders face discrimination, neglect or abuse.
Who would have expected caregivers to try to religiously convert these elders at their bedside!
