The Bubble explores senior citizen life within The Villages, America’s largest retirement community, where residents are provided with every convenience to enjoy the twilight hours of their lives. Retired life beneath the year-round Floridian sunshine however, is not as idyllic, or as welcomed, as many ageing Villagers may imagine. Interweaving satisfied retiree existences with the anxieties of several residents from surrounding counties, the documentary illustrates many of the nation’s most combative dialogues regarding class imbalance, racial inequality, healthcare privatisation, political affiliation, state responsibility, and civic obligation.
