About

In a neighborhood rich with rhythm, history, and soul, one final fight is brewing—and it’s being led by the elders. Daley’s Senior Home is the last of its kind in a rapidly gentrifying Bronzeville. With their beloved community vanishing before their eyes, the residents of Daley’s must decide: go quietly, or go out swinging— senior citizen style. A timely story of resistance, resilience, and the joyfully defiant spirit of those too experienced to be ignored.
