The Film Famous 4A
“ In the beginning I hated it. Because I never was locked up like this... not locked up, but stored away.”
“ I think what you should do is just mingle, and let the camera roll...'cause this is as close as you can get to death.”
For people living in 'Famous 4A,' the hospice unit in a Veteran's Administration hospital, life goes on.
Some look for spiritual solace in their last days, while another just wants to eat a meal sitting upright.
'Famous 4A' challenges stereotypes of aging and dying. It's about how people hold on to routines and still seek out truth, purpose and, most of all, humor in the last moments of life.
