Tho' the Body May Be Frail

Produced by:

Linda Mack

Most of the men and women at the Woodview Nursing Home didn't plan to move there. They became ill, or broke a hip, and when they recovered, found themselves not living at home anymore. The home serves a rural tobacco and mill region of southern Virginia. Residents, black, white, wealthy, poor, college educated, illiterate, suddenly find themselves roommates. The common experience of being unable to take care of themselves binds them together. Residents share with producer Linda Mack their thoughts about surviving loss, learning to forgive, preparing for death and reconciling the past.
