Veterans Day: ‘The Way We Get By’ on POV

The excellent PBS documentary program POV is screening The Way We Get By for Veterans Day tonight and I recommend you check it out. It tells the moving story of a group of Bangor Maine senior citizens who have taken it upon themselves to greet soldiers coming in from or shipping out to Iraq and Afghanistan. No dolphins get stabbed in the head so it didn’t get the press of certain other sensationalistic documentaries, but it sticks with you.

I’ve been looking forward to this one since SXSW and always like to see POV get plugged.
But I couldn’t see it last night and the rerun listings here are ridiculous (4:00 AM on Sunday, etc.). At least I can watch in online, though it’s not up yet on the website.
