The Way We Get By is a story about troop greeters — a group of senior citizens who gather daily at a small airport to thank American soldiers departing and returning from Iraq, but the film quickly turns into a moving, unsettling and compassionate story about aging, loneliness, war and mortality.

Coming off a successful opening at the IFC Center in New York City, The Way We Get By has expanded theatrically across the country in cities such as Chicago, LA, DC, Boston, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin and many others.

The documentary has received numerous awards and been featured on CNN in NY Times, Washington Post, USA Today and been screened on Capitol Hill and at Walter Reed Medical Center.

The Way We Get By will be aired on Veteran's Day 11/11 on PBS.
The score/soundtrack is a modern themed acoustic-based musical masterpiece composed by Zack Martin of Carrigan, with film-audio tastefully woven throughout.
