Golf, Booze & Guns: Inside Boomer Paradise The Bubble (Full Film)

The Bubble examines often-surreal senior citizen life within The Villages, America’s largest retirement community. Leisurely retired life beneath the year-round Floridian sunshine however, is not perhaps as idyllic, or as welcomed, as viewers may imagine.

The Bubble intimately examines the exclusive retirement experiences, beliefs and mindsets of six memorable Villages residents; Toni and Roger, Jeanie and John, Terry and Toni. Interweaving these satisfied retiree existences with the anxieties of several residents from surrounding counties, the documentary reveals how those beyond the community’s sealed gateways are being profoundly displaced by The Villages’ endless desire for land, water, and regional control.



This VICE documentary kinda freaked me out, so I thought I'd share.

FYI, it's about 2 hours 16 minutes long.

Villages are probably about 90 percent Republicans. Surprisingly it's all about THEIR wallet, I got mine and fuck you.
