Fat Rose and Squeaky is a movie about aging. We believe its messaging can be a catalyst for raising the awareness of our growing population of elderly women without family who are trying to cope with a world they may not understand anymore. Our goal is to build a community of not only fans of the film and its messaging, but more over to build a community of change agents who can provide the needed love, understanding and care for our seniors.
