The @wgbh.org filmmakers and producers who made the documentary "Living In Pryde" possible, in all of its power and beauty, joined residents and friends at The Pryde Community Center showing and panel discussion yesterday. We're proud to call this remarkable team our family.
Posed picture of four smiling older adults with four of the filmmakers and producers, also smiling, in The Pryde Community Center, a converted middle school gym. Behind the group is a drop-down screen with a picture of the exterior of The Pryde building against a blue sky, the Pride Progress flag, and the words, "Welcome to the screening of Living With Pryde."
