RELATED FILMS |
THE KEY OF G is an award-winning documentary about disability, caregiving and interdependence. The film follows Gannet, a charismatic 22-year-old with physical and developmental disabilities, as he leaves his mother's home to share an apartment with a close-knit group of artists and musicians who support him, not only as paid caregivers, but also as friends. Together they create a uniquely successful model of supported living, and a compelling alternative to institutionalized care.

REVIEWS "The Key of G offers families and the public a glimpse of what can be possible for a young adult with severe cognitive disability living in the community. We see Gannet interact with young roommate/caregivers who are also artists and musicians - a lovely contrast to dread images of institutions or burdened families." "... a real-life look at supported living, an option for anyone with a developmental disability, regardless of their level of functioning. The film exemplifies the talents and empathy of those gifted direct care workers who become part of our extended families." "Smart, poignant, candid... It's a really extraordinary film."
