On Wednesday, May 13, 2009 The Lynn and Louis II Wolfson Florida Moving Image Archive will screen archival footage of “Momma Lives on Miami Beach.” The screening is free and open to the public.
“Momma Lives on Miami Beach“, a WPLG-Miami 1974 Historic Florida Project, brings to light the less emphasized image of Miami Beach “a ghetto in the sun” that is home to a growing community of poor and struggling older people. The great strength of South Beach, as shown in this program, rises in the tenacity and self knowledge of the neglected elderly, and the program focuses namely on the struggles and triumphs of this downtrodden group.
