What Happened at the Veterans Home? (2021)

A powerful drama ripped from world headlines. Emotional, funny and inspiring. The story centers around the intertwined lives of Gloria Michaels, a blunt, charismatic disabled veteran with a sense of humor; her daughter Gwen Michaels, an overwhelmed hospital nurse; and Mary Emmett, a hardworking CNA care aide and whistleblower, who insist on revealing the truth of what really went on inside the nursing home during the early days of the pandemic, to an inquiring reporter we never see. Mary's own loss is slowly revealed. Throughout, we also hear the surprising, serio-comic point of view of the Covid virus itself. These are women you want to know and who share their harrowing personal experiences directly with the audience in a series of intimate scenes. Gloria, Gwen, and Mary never shrink from hard truths or shy away from their grief. Still they manage to mine their wit, anger, and strength to demand better and fight on.
