A grimly amusing look at life in Sun City, Arizona, a gated retirement community. The Best of Your Life was the first film that Streeter and Ganz made for The Great American Dream Machine.
Caustic and deadpan, these short documentaries create hilarious, indelible portraits of Americana. Ganz and Streeter follow retirees in Sun Valley, honeymooners in the Poconos, sign painters in Brooklyn, help-line operators, female comportment instructors, Muzak executives, and denizens of a Bowery men’s shelter.
