Description:
Kings Point is a Academy Nominated documentary about five seniors living in a retirement resort in Kings Point, Florida. During the 1970s and 1980s, thousands of New York's primarily Jewish senior citizens migrated to King's Point, a retirement community in Florida. Lured by blue skies, sunshine and the promise of richer social lives, they bought paradise for a mere $1500 downpayment.
